Hand harvesting of Fleur de Sel

100% natural and harvested daily by the Marenotos, this pure fleur de sel retains natural humidity and natural sea salt flavors. Harvested directly from the ocean, it undergoes no industrialized processing prior to being packaged. This is much better than French Fleur de Sel, as due to the rarity of rain in the Algarve, you will always get a pure white salt, in it's highest purity, not possibly achieved by the french, due to the rains that bring small debris that are absorbed by the salt and you can see a grey toning. Each pack contains 250g / 8.82oz / 0.55lbs

Fleur de Sel, a unique gourmet treat that French chefs have brought to market. In the old days, this kind of salt was collected by the workers for their home consumption. They called it salt cream, as it is collected from the pan surface as cream from the milk.
This kind of salt is harvested by hand every day it crystallizes at the water surface. It is the best salt one could find, as it contains a splendid blend of trace minerals.

Day by day, the marnoto patiently harvest the thin layer of salt that lays on the water surface. It is a very hard work, but worthwhile, as the exceptional quality of the product cannot be matched by any other salt.

Fleur de sel is the ideal product for demanding gourmets. It has an unique bouquet that naturally highlights food flavours and naturally enhances aromas. It crumbles easily when rubbed by the fingers. It is the ideal salt to go to the table, it has a unique touch, it is as fine, pure and white as sea salt must be.
