Fleur de Sel de Camargue
During a trip to the south of France, WJ experienced a new take on a standard table condiment – salt. We now enjoy sprinkling a tiny amount of Fleur de Sel de Camargue on our salads, veggies, casseroles and desserts. Why is Fleur de Sel de Camargue so much better than regular table salt or even other fancier sea salts? Well keep on reading and find out…
Fleur De Sel – Translates as “Flower of Salt” and is also known as “Caviar of Salt”. Fleur De Sel de Camargue is hand raked and harvested in France. The name Fleur De Sel comes from the aroma of violets that develops as the salt dries. Only the premium, top layer of the salt bed is used. Each signature container is sealed with a cork top and signed by the Salt Raker who harvested it.
Salt Raker Name
The flavor is marvellous in comparison to other salts. Unlike processed salts, Fleur De Sel is a natural source of potassium, calcium, magnesium, copper and iodine. The taste is a delicate balance of the numerous salts, minerals and micronutrients. This is truly the finest salt available.
These small, flaky crystals have a moist texture and a slight grey and pink hue. For maximum flavor, sprinkle fleur-de-sel by hand over foods just before serving to draw out the full flavors of the other ingredients. This is a natural compliment to fresh salads and vegetable dishes and an excellent all-around seasoning. As an extra-special touch, do as the French do and sprinkle on caramel desserts and cakes.
Purchase in grocery stores and markets in the south of France. Outside of France it is available on Amazon.com
