Finest quality pure Portuguese "fleur de sel" sea salt flakes from the Ria Formosa - Algarve salterns.

Fleur de sel, ("flower of salt") means and actually is the sea salt gathered by hand from the very top of the salt pit, before it is sunk and crystallized in the lower levels of the salt pit.

This kind of sea salt preserves a significant percentage of humidity as it has not been treated chemically.

The fleur de sel is naturally white colored without having been artificially whitened like the common sea salt.

The distinctive texture of the fleur de sel is the secret for the specially crystalized form, the soft taste and the long term preservation of all its precious features.

The fleur de sel contains micronutrients necessary to the human body, so it is highly recommended to buy and consume. It dissolves faster than common sea salt and thus it is better to be added in foods just before they are served. The fleur de sel is absolutely pure and natural; no added substances, nothing has been removed from it.

We have Fresh "Flower Salt" as choice of natural sea salt, of exceptional quality and taste. It holds within the most valuable elements of the sea. A gift of nature that is worth enjoying.

It has not undergone any iodation processing (that is addition of synthetic iodine); it contains the iodine which is naturally contained in sea salt, which is the one that is recognized and absorbed by the human organism.

Collected by hand from the top of the fresh salt and dried in the sun. It is packed unprocessed without any purification or addition of chemicals.

It is formed only during the hot summer days in the surface of the water, and it is removed using a wooden shovel. As it is not refined in any way, it preserves its natural characteristics.

Benefits

Fleur de sel (Flor de Sal in portuguese), is the so-called flower of salt, a very rare type of traditional sea salt that forms on the surface of the salt pans. Its crystals form very quickly and therefore have a different crystal structure from the coarse sea salt. They are thinner, more fragile and their mineralogical composition is slightly different.

 The Fleur de Sel appears only on days with particular weather conditions and is harvested from the surface of the water with a handmade tool called “rodo-coador”. The crystals must be scooped from the surface the very same day to keep them from falling overnight. This ensures that their purity and unique characteristics, that are so appreciated by the world's best chefs, are retained intact.
