Fleur de Sel, French Flower of Salt, Artisan Shaker Jar
Product ID: 38863215
Delicate, moist and crunchy—Fleur de Sel is known as “the caviar of salts” by chefs around the globe. The result of a cool evening wind gently blowing across the surface of salt ponds in Guérande, France, delicate crystals blossom quickly and are gathered early in the morning using traditional wooden tools. This tender harvesting process leaves the crystals intact and helps them retain their natural moisture. Used by cooks worldwide when seasoning their favorite foods, Fleur de Sel is one of the most treasured finishing salts for gourmet dishes, adding subtle salinity and crunch, and in spice & herb blends, as it helps to break down herbs and open up their flavor. Review: Great taste, texture and convenient shaker top - Never knew what this salt was called until a receipt called for it. Like the convenience of the shaker top and the matching size of bottle with my other spices. Adds great flavor and crunchy texture to fresh tomato mozzarella salads, meats, vegetables,etc. it is a finishing salt, not a mixing in one as a replacement for regulate salt. Great item to have in your pantry. Review: Light flakes of salt - I wish I had discovered this product sooner. The lighter flakes of salt work well with recipes and cooking. The taste is very nice! I won’t ever go back to store bought salt grains again!

Superlative!
Best tasting salt imaginable and greatly prized for finishing. Traditionally, fleur de sel is not used for cooking, as its delicacy is lost to heat. The shaker is charming and worth a bit more. I paid a bit under $8 for mine, was unpleasantly surprised by the substantial recent price increase. One can, of course, buy it in bulk instead, and dispense with the shaker, but...

Get the real Fleur de Sel
Awesome product! Not all Sea Salt is comparable. If you're baking something (especially desserts) that calls for Sea Salt Flakes, they MEAN Fleur de Sel. Don't compromise - get the real thing! Very happy with this product.

Hard to find gem
Fleur de sel is a finishing salt that adds a wallop of flavor to vegetables, salads, and sprinkled on a slice of warm, buttered baguette. A kitchen essential.

Fancy Salt is FUN!
When the shut downs for COVID-19 began, I made a little promise to myself to take some of the money I would normally spend on going out and put it towards experimenting with new foods I’ve never tried. Things I felt good about putting into my body. I’ve had more time to cook and expand my horizons in the kitchen. This is a wonderful finishing salt and I use it daily. I add it after I’ve turned the heat off of whatever I’m cooking and it really does have a great, yet subtle crunch and wonderful flavor. Doesn’t leave me feeling puffy or bloated the next day either. Good stuff!

delicious salt
Wonderful salt. I use it for finishing. My only complaint is that the shaker holes let too much salt through at a time.

Too salty tasting to start.
You get a lot for what you pay but the flavor is too salt forward compared to some of the other brands of fleur de sel I’ve had. To be fair it does have a buttery aftertaste but the beginning salt flavor is too strong.
