Fleur de Sel
These small flaky crystals have a
moist texture and a slight grey and pink hue. For
maximum flavour, sprinkle fleur de Sel by hand over
foods just before serving to draw out the full
flavours of the other ingredients. This is a natural
compliment to fresh salads and vegetable dishes. Common uses are to garnish a nice dish, sprinkle onto bread with unsalted butter or as a spice to sprinkle onto a finished dish. Most gourmet stores will sell it in small portions and all you really need is a pinch at a time, which makes the price comparable to some exotic spices. Be wary of very discounted prices as they may not be for the real thing. BACK TO TOPPlain table salt is generally almost entirely sodium chloride, while sea salts contain a higher percentage of other minerals from the evaporating sea water which give various sea salts distinctive flavors. The crystals are also somewhat larger and coarser than the iodized table salt you buy in the grocery store. Fleur de Sel's irregular crystals form flake like clumps due to moisture (as would every day table salt without iodine) which makes it fairly crunchy. The amount of other minerals cuts down on the salt taste in Fleur de Sel and according to some it has an aroma similar to violets. The harvesting process ensures that Fleur de Sel contains only the purest part of the saline which also cuts down on the salty taste. What makes the salt from HUB SALT so special is that the area has a particularly mild climate, natural salt fields and particularly clean water currents from the Arabian Sea that makes the salt there superior to all other Fleur de Sel produced in other regions of the highly industrialized world.

around the world . It’s a type of sea salt, but a
very expensive one indeed. Fleur de Sel is a gift
from nature, and is known for many of its healing
properties, including restoring calm and balance in
those who use it, probably due to its pure clean
crystals that contains a natural balance of
life-enhancing minerals. As with the picking of wild
mushrooms, the
hand-harvesting
of Fleur de Sel reflects the harmonious and
ecological partnership of humans and Nature. This
traditional craft is done in an eco-friendly,
sustainable way. This unique sea salt, which is
prized by gourmets and health aficionados alike, is
formed on the surface of the salt crystallizing
ponds. It is lighter in colour than the grey sea
salt, and the crystals are of a finer texture. The
beautiful crystals of Fleur de Sel are naturally
dried by the sun. They are what many regard as the
pinnacle of natural sea salt. Some call Fleur de Sel
the "diamonds of the sea" or "white gold". Fleur de
Sel de is a rare and very special sea salt which
reflects the richness and wholeness of its natural
source: the Sea.
