Fleur de Sel / Indian Ocean

Uses & Recipe Ideas

Fleur de Sel is the delicate salt bloom of the sea. On hot, windy days, wafer-thin salt crystals form on the water’s surface and are carefully skimmed off. It is precisely this delicate texture that makes Fleur de Sel so special: it is not added during cooking, but rather sprinkled over finished dishes at the very end. A finishing salt for anyone who wants to turn simple dishes into something special.
