- Q: What is Fleur de Sel and how is it different from regular sea salt? A: Fleur de Sel, often referred to as the 'flower of salt', is a premium finishing salt harvested by hand from the salt marshes of France. Unlike regular sea salt, which is typically harvested from inland deposits, Fleur de Sel is collected from the surface of seawater as it evaporates, resulting in a more delicate texture and richer mineral content. It has a unique flavor profile that enhances dishes without overwhelming them.
- Q: How should I use Fleur de Sel in my cooking? A: Fleur de Sel is best used as a finishing salt, meaning it is sprinkled on dishes just before serving to enhance flavor. It pairs wonderfully with fresh vegetables, meats, fish, and even desserts. Add it to salads, roasted vegetables, or use it to season foie gras for a gourmet touch.
- Q: Is Fleur de Sel gluten-free and suitable for special diets? A: Yes, Fleur de Sel is naturally gluten-free and contains no additives, making it suitable for various dietary restrictions, including gluten-free and low-sodium diets. Its unprocessed and unrefined nature ensures you are getting pure sea salt without any artificial ingredients.
- Q: What makes Straight from France Fleur de Sel unique? A: Straight from France Fleur de Sel is unique due to its hand-harvesting method from the renowned salt marshes of Ile de Re. This artisanal approach ensures the salt is of the highest quality, retaining its natural minerals and moisture. The delicate flakes provide a crunchy texture and a lingering taste, setting it apart from standard sea salts.
- Q: How should I store my Fleur de Sel to maintain its quality? A: To maintain the quality of your Fleur de Sel, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. A tightly sealed container will help preserve its moisture and flavor. Avoid storing it in a humid environment, as this can cause clumping and affect its texture.
