Everything about Fleur De Sel totally explained
Fleur de sel ("Flower of salt" in
French) is a hand-harvested
sea salt collected by workers who scrape only the top layer of salt before it sinks to the bottom of large
salt pans. Traditional French
fleur de sel is collected off the coast of
Brittany (most notably in the town of
Guérande -
Fleur de Sel de Guérande, hand harvested from salt marsh water being the most revered),
Noirmoutier, and also
Camargue, and is slightly grey due to the sandy
minerals collected in the process of harvesting the salt from the pans. Fleur de sel is one of most expensive salts in the world and is usually sold in jars as it's slightly damp.
Also known in
Portuguese as
"flor de sal", the hand-harvested variant from the
Algarve region of
Portugal is becoming known, as it's of similar quality to the French
fleur de sel. In addition, it has the advantage of being pure white and usually sells for half the price of the French
fleur de sel.
Fleur de sel is best used similarly to fresh herbs, sprinkling it onto food just before serving.
