Where Does Fleur de Sel Come From?

In French, Fleur de Sel means “Flower of Salt.” Although its luxurious taste is esteemed, the origins of Fleur de Sel are unknown by most. Fleur de Sel is harvested completely by hand, using techniques that date back centuries. Read on to see how this French sea salt is produced.

Within the Brittany region of northern France, seawater from the Atlantic Ocean is channeled into shallow salt marshes, where it undergoes the process of evaporation, leaving behind a mass of crystal deposits.

The salt crystals are then carefully gathered with a rake, pulled together into salt pans and collected. This process is slow and deliberate, as to not damage the delicate crystals.

What Are the Benefits of Fleur de Sel?

Fleur de Sel can be used in a variety of gourmet dishes and it may be difficult to find at your local stores. This salt also offers a whole range of benefits to the user, justifying its higher price tag. The main benefits you can expect to experience are:

• Fantastic Taste
• Flawless Purity
• Healthier Product

Let’s take a look at these in more detail.

Fantastic Taste

There is a reason this salt is known around the world as one of the highest quality salts you can buy. Its exquisite taste brings out the best of every single dish. With only a pinch of this salt, you’ll be able to deliver a world-class culinary ingredient to your food, supporting the taste and balancing your meals.

Flawless Purity

Coming directly from the sea and handled with expert care, Fleur De Sel is always as pure as possible. Without any additives or diluting ingredients, every crystal of Fleur de Sel is of premium quality.

If you’re looking for a fresh, delicious ingredient to add to your salads, meat, soups and more, then you can never go wrong with Fleur De Sel.

Healthier Product

Due to the high moisture content of Fleur De Sel, it takes longer to dissolve on your tongue. Therefore, the salt goes further, with a smaller amount bringing a significant flavor impact to many recipes and dishes.

Since less salt produces more of an impact, when using Fleur De Sel, you’ll be able to use less salt than normal. Over time, the strength of this salt will ensure that your salt consumption goes down as you’ll never need to use as much.

Reducing your salt consumption by switching to Fleur de Sel can lead to lower blood pressure and a lower risk of heart disease.

You’ll be eating a delicious mineral while also helping out your body—what’s not to love!

How Do I Correctly Use Fleur de Sel?

Fleur de Sel is best used as a finishing salt.

One of the common mistakes that users of Fleur de Sel make is adding it during the cooking process. Heat deforms Fleur de Sel, making it melt and reducing its beneficial properties.

Instead, you should add Fleur de Sel after you’ve finished cooking. As a final touch right before you eat, sprinkle a little bit of this salt on top of your food.

The richness of this unrefined sea salt will further heighten the flavors of your food. Considering Fleur de Sel has higher moisture content than regular salt, it doesn’t dissolve as quickly. Due to this, the salty taste will stay on your tongue for longer, enhancing your food and delivering a fantastic culinary experience every single time.

You only need a small amount of this product to pack a large punch, meaning your purchase really goes a long way.
