Fleur de sel and sea salt are both derived from seawater. Fleur de sel are the distinctive pyramid-shaped crystals that rise to the top during the evaporation process. Like a delicate flower they bloom and float on the surface and must be gently harvested by hand. Crystals are very difficult to achieve. A unique set of oceanic and environmental conditions must align for them to form.

Gourmet Garnish: Fleur de sel is a finishing salt that enhances the taste of soups, salads, fish, meat, fruit, vegetables, even dessert. It is important to only use it on food just before serving, and not while cooking as high temperatures will cause the crystals to melt and lose their unique character.

Three-finger Pinch: There is an art to sprinkling fleur de sel on your food. Take a three-finger pinch, then in one circular motion high above the plate crush the crystals between your fingertips letting them fall randomly to create a rollercoaster of taste with every bite.

Salt Spring Sea Salt is made with the finest hand-harvested fleur de sel crystals and infused with locally sourced ingredients. You will see, taste and appreciate the difference. Here’s why. 

Purity – Fleur de sel is the purest form of salt you can get. It contains absolutely no gypsum or other impurities from the sea.

Taste – Because it is so pure, there’s no bitterness. It melts slowly on the tongue and provides a delicious crunch as it enhances the flavour of the food. Chefs worldwide consider it to be the crème de la crème of salts.

Variety – Salt Spring Sea Salt's flavour-infused sea salt using local organic herbs, fruit, spices, wine and beer are truly unique. You won’t find anything like them in the world.

Beauty – You first eat with your eyes. Their flavour-infused crystals come in an array of colours that visually tempt the taste buds when sprinkled randomly on top of food.

Health – Fleur de sel is as natural as you can get. Once you use start using it as a finishing salt, and taste the difference it makes, you won’t ever want to cook with regular salt again!
