Fleur de Sel

For the finest Fleur De Sel from the Ile de Ré on France’s Brittany coast, saltmakers rake the purest, whitest crystals from the surface of the village’s salt ponds. The salt crystallizes naturally from evaporation by sun and wind. Within 24 hours of crystallization it is collected with the only tool authorized for raking, the traditional “lousse à fleur.” This delicate fleur de sel has a silken, flaky texture and mild, elegant flavor.
