Fleur de Sel

This product is not currently available.

From a salt pond on the Ile de Ré, a small island off the coast of France, this salt is harvested within 24 hours of crystallization. The crystals are flaky and crunchy, sparkle like snowflakes and smell like the sea. Purveyed by Jing Tio, who kitchen alchemists like Ferran Adrià and Wylie Dufresne turn to for exotic finds and wild concoctions, this salt will put the finishing touch on any dish.

Here's what you get:

  • Select between 6 oz or 1.3 oz of Fleur de Sel from the Brittany coast of France

Salt of the Earth

This beautiful sea salt has a hundred uses in the home kitchen: Sprinkle it on ripe tomatoes ten minutes before eating them. Drop it onto brownies or cookies just as they come out of the oven for a salty-sweet treat. Make caramels and drop a few flakes onto each. It is truly a fleur de sel, flower of the sea, in that it also features a lightly floral undertone. Try toasting a thick slab of country-style bread, piling fresh ricotta and crushed pistachios on top, and drizzling it with honey and sprinkling this sea salt over the whole.
