Description
Fleur de Sel Salt from France is created naturally on hot days where the water starts to evapourate in the salt pans.
The salt creates left behind form to create a flower salt crystal, hence the name Fleur de Sel or Salt Flower
These flowers are simply scooped up by the farmers, if you look closely at the crystals you will see they are pyramid in shape, these are the flower petals
Sadly its not possible to get a perfect formed Fleur de Sel Salt Flower, they break upon drying
Whereas the name originates from France / Europe, Fleur de Sel is naturally occurring formation throughout the world, we consider the Fleur de Sel from France to have the best flavour
Also known as pyramid salt for its shape, the flavours from France are more intense that the usual Cypriot type and milder than Bamboo Salt

Quick Reference
What is it?: A hand-harvested French finishing salt formed as delicate crystals on the surface of warm salt pans.
Flavour: Clean, rounded and gently saline, with delicate crystals that dissolve readily on the tongue.
Common uses: Pinch over food immediately before serving rather than using it as a bulk cooking salt.
Pairs well with: Fish, salads, tomatoes, eggs, buttered vegetables and chocolate desserts.
Compare with: More delicate and moisture-rich than ordinary sea salt, with a lighter crunch and a finishing rather than cooking role.
Substitute: A good-quality salt flake is the nearest practical substitute.
Storage: Keep sealed in a cool, dry place away from steam and moisture. For smoked or delicate finishing salts, close the pack promptly to protect their aroma and crystal texture.
Good to know: The name means flower of salt, referring to the fragile surface crystals gathered from the pans before they sink.
