FAQ
What is the difference between fleur de sel and regular sea salt?
Fleur de Sel forms as delicate surface crystals and is hand-harvested, giving it a lighter texture and higher mineral content. Regular sea salt is typically harvested in larger crystals and is often used for general cooking.
Why is fleur de sel used as a finishing salt?
Its thin, flaky crystals provide light crunch and dissolve slowly on the surface of food. Prolonged cooking would dissolve the texture that makes it distinctive.
Does fleur de sel taste different from table salt?
Yes. Fleur de Sel has a cleaner sea salt flavor with noticeable mineral notes, while table salt is more sharply salty and often contains additives.
