Description
Fine Fleur de Sel - Fleur de Sel petals ground into 0.2-1mm Particle Size
Fleur de Sel Salt is created naturally on hot days where the water starts to evapourate in the salt pans.
The salt creates left behind form to create a flower salt crystal, hence the name Fleur de Sel or Salt Flower
This Fleur de Sel is from South African mined from a centuries old salt pan in southeast South Africa
The sea washes through a river several hundred meters inland where the hot winds of South Africa dry the sea water leaving behind pure mineral rich fleur de sel flowers
These flowers are simply scooped up by the farmers, the crystals are pyramid in shape, these are the flower petals

Quick Reference
What is it?: South African fleur de sel petals ground to a fine 0.2-1mm particle size.
Flavour: Clean and mineral with the character of flower salt but the quick dispersion of a fine grain.
Common uses: Season at the table, blend into rubs, or use where whole fleur de sel flakes would be too large.
Pairs well with: Fish, salads, eggs, vegetables, meat and baking.
Compare with: Finer and more even than whole fleur de sel, sacrificing some flake texture for easier distribution.
Substitute: Fine unrefined sea salt is practical, though less delicate in origin and flavour.
Storage: Keep sealed in a cool, dry place away from steam and moisture. For smoked or delicate finishing salts, close the pack promptly to protect their aroma and crystal texture.
Good to know: This begins as hand-harvested flower salt, then is milled; it is not simply standard fine sea salt sold under a different name.
