Fleur de Sel is an exceptional sea salt. From Bretagne, France, it is certified organic. This requires the Plaudiers (salt rakers) to use only wooden tools to gather the salts. Use as a finishing salt on roasted vegetables and grilled meat.

Customer Rating: Summary: Lovely 2006-03-08 Comment: I brought back this salt from Brittany almost seven years ago. I was devestated when I ran out. Fortunately, the same salt I cannot do without is available here. I am grateful. I would not use anything else.

Customer Rating: Summary: Finishing Salt 2005-12-22 Comment: Fleur de Sel gives more intensity to salad dressings and is the moist, caviar of salt that is hand raked from the surface of salt ponds on the coast of France during July and August. You will need a mortar and pestle to grind the salt, but it is so worth your time.
This salt looks a bit like tiny snowflakes or moist granules with a distinct salty-from-the-sea flavor that is unique to these salts.The flavor just fills your entire mouth. Normal table salt will pale in comparison and almost has a chemical aftertaste in comparison to this highly prized salt. French chefs have known this secret forever and when I found this salt, I told everyone I knew about the flavor. Sprinkle this salt onto anything you want just before serving, especially good on steaks or freshly cooked vegetables. Also delicious with butter and rosemary on freshly baked bread.
