Fleur De Sel French Sea Salt Finishing Salt (1.5oz)
Straight from France's Fleur de sel is an all-natural (unprocessed, unrefined, unadulterated and gluten-free) premium sea salt, containing nothing but the delicate Fleur de sel crystals. Traditionally harvested by hand in the salt marshes of Île de Ré (Ré Island) in western France, this exceptional sea salt is the purest form of salt, derived directly from the evaporation of seawater, unlike table salt and kosher salt which come from inland salt deposits.
With its high moisture content and distinctive crystal shape (more compact than flaky salts yet not as granular as fine or coarse salt), Fleur de sel is a unique finishing sea salt that is highly concentrated in minerals and lower in sodium than regular salt. This premium quality Fleur de sel from Straight from France will linger pleasantly in your mouth, adding a delicate, superior taste when sprinkled on fresh tomatoes, salads, fish, meat, roasted vegetables, French delicacies like foie gras, or even on fruits, caramels, chocolates and desserts.
One method of gathering sea salt involves drawing seawater into marsh basins and allowing it to evaporate, leaving behind the dissolved salt. As the water evaporates, most of the salt precipitates to the bottom of the marsh, forming ordinary sea salt. However, some salt crystals float on the surface of the water, forming a delicate crust of intricate pyramidal crystals - this is the coveted Fleur de sel, or "flower of salt." The delicacy of this salt requires that it be harvested by hand, using traditional methods and tools.
Straight from France's Fleur de sel is sourced directly from small producers, allowing for more control over the production process and ensuring that it is not inadvertently mixed with coarser salts, as can happen with more industrialized brands. This premium quality Fleur de sel is unlike any other, with a flavor far superior to regular sea salt.
Fleur de sel is not used in the cooking process, but rather added as a finishing touch, a "finishing salt," just before serving to enhance the flavors of eggs, fish, meat, vegetables and delicacies. It can also be used to make chocolate and caramel, bringing a unique and delightful touch to these sweet treats.
Straight from France offers Fleur de sel in various sizes, including 1.5oz, 4oz and 8oz durable plastic jars, as well as 17.6oz and 35.2oz refill bags. For those who enjoy a touch of spice, we also carry a blend of Fleur de sel and red hot chili peppers in a 4oz jar.
