Le Saunier de Camargue Fleur de Sel (French Sea Salt)

Fleur de Sel translates to "Flower of Salt." The salt earned its name because of the aroma of violets that develops as the salt dries. The salt is hand-raked and harvested in France. This is done only once a year during the summer when the wind stops blowing and millions of salt crystals form at the surface of the water. The harvested salt is flaky, slightly damp, and composed of distinctive salt crystals with a faint grey and pink hue. When sprinkled over any dish just before serving, it draws out the full flavors of the other ingredients so every spoonful is brimming with flavor and texture.
