Sea Salt, Brittany, Fleur de Sel
French sea salt has long been known as the superior sea salt matched only by the red and black sea salts coming from Hawaii. The French are the first known to harvest sea salt; records age back to the 7th century and to this day they still hand harvest it in the same traditional “Celtic” way. Salt is harvested by drying seawater in shallow pools. As the water evaporates the remaining salt is moved around with salt rakes and formed into small pyramids. It is the top of the salt pyramid that dries first and is considered the best.

In ancient Roman times, the lips of infants were rubbed with salt to protect them from danger.

This top layer is removed and is known as the Fleur de Sel, or the flower of the salt, and contains a high amount of minerals and premium flavor. We carry two types of fleur de sel, this Brittany and a Portuguese, which should be used as finishing salts. For a premium sea salt that can be used in the cooking process, we also carry the moist salt underneath of the top layer called coarse grey salt. Finish on fish, eggs, pastas, meats and more. Use as your new table salt and you, like us, will become addicted to its great flavor.

This salt is produced in France.
