Fleur de Sel is a premium French sea salt traditionally hand-harvested from shallow salt ponds along the coast. As seawater slowly evaporates under the sun and wind, delicate, bright white salt crystals form on the surface. These fragile crystals—known as “the flower of the salt”—must be carefully collected before they sink back into the water. Naturally rich in minerals such as magnesium and calcium, Fleur de Sel contains no additives or preservatives and is prized as a gourmet finishing salt for enhancing the flavor of meats, vegetables, and other dishes.
