Description

Fleur de Sel is referred to as the finest salt in the world. This so-called "flower of salt" from the sea has been harvested by hand for hundreds of years and has a subtle scent of violets. The Fleur de Sel is a fresh sea breeze for the home. From the peninsula of Guerande, this salt is one of the most pristine salts used in the kitchen by connoisseurs. The natural influences of sea, sun and wind provide for the origin of this unique natural product.

On days with lots east wind, the snow-white "fleur de sel" (flower of salt) is formed as a very thin crust on the surface of the Atlantic ocean. These fine "flowers" are carefully hand harvested. Thus, this salt accounts for only a fraction of the total harvest of the salt farmers. The scent of Fleur de Sel is unmistakably that of violets. As a pure, natural product this salt is not refined, processed or mixed with other additives such as anti-caking agents. The natural trace elements remain in the salt as it is dried by the sun, not artificially.

About the origin of the Fleur de Sel
Sea salt has been produced for more than 1000 years on the French Atlantic coast. This unique, craft salt harvest is found in the south of Brittany in Guerande on a peninsula. The Paludier (salt worker) harvests this "white gold" by hand.

The town of Guerande is located on a hill on a peninsula and is surrounded by city walls protecting its medieval city center. It is surrounded by castles, swamps, picturesque villages and lively ports. Traditional customs have an important role here, especially in the craft of Paludiers. Only through the harvest does the municipality earn the wealth and fame it has established over centuries.
