Fleur de Sel

Origin:

Our Fleur de Sel comes from the salt-rich coastal waters of St. Helena Bay on the west coast of South Africa. Harvesting takes place in the traditional salt pans under strictly protected conditions – amidst a unique landscape, parts of which are designated as a nature reserve. Salt production contributes to the preservation of this sensitive ecosystem.

Quality:

As the finest form of sea salt, Fleur de Sel is produced only under optimal climatic conditions. Abundant sunshine, low humidity, and a gentle, constant breeze cause delicate crystals to form on the surface of the salt pans. These are harvested with meticulous care by hand – a true rarity that represents only a fraction of the total salt harvest. The salt is rich in natural minerals and trace elements and free of any additives.

Application:

With its fine, crisp texture and mild flavor, fleur de sel is ideal as a finishing salt for meat, fish, vegetables, or salads. It enhances every dish—whether in fine dining or everyday cooking—and brings out the flavors beautifully. It also makes an excellent gift.

Can:

The stoneware container not only impresses with its appearance, but also protects the salt from light and heat, thus preserving its quality.

Not dishwasher safe, handle print gently.

Manufacturing and production processes:

The fine salt flakes form naturally on the surface of the salt pans on hot summer days, as soon as the brine reaches a salinity of over 250 g/l. In the late afternoon, the wafer-thin layer is carefully skimmed off by hand – a process that requires both experience and a keen sense of timing.

Sustainability:

The harvesting of Fleur de Sel is carried out in harmony with nature. Through collaboration with select salt pans, not only is a particularly pure product obtained, but a contribution is also made to protecting the local environment and preserving traditional craftsmanship.
