Fleur de Sel de Noirmoutier

Our fleur de sel from the Isle of Noirmoutier, off the coast of Brittany, stands out from the others by possessing high purity and high solubility which makes it superior. It contains few insoluble elements thanks to the techniques used on Noirmoutier; a harvest every two days allows for better crystallization and gives salt containing much less clay. The light crystals form a fine film on the edges of the salt ponds and float in small patches on the water. Delicately creamed off, it whitens in fresh air without changing, thus preserving all its iodine richness and other trace elements. Different from Mediterranean salt, Noirmoutier salt has a low sodium and high calcium content making it much milder and tastier. Use it sparingly to finish a dish. It is a natural complement for fresh raw vegetables, meat, fish and salads. Try it sprinkled on fresh tomatoes. Comes with complete explanations on why our Fleur de Sel is very special.
