What is fleur de sel from Madagascar?

A hand-harvested finishing sea salt skimmed from the surface of salt pans in Madagascar. It has delicate, crisp flakes and a clean, mild salinity.

Use as a finishing salt on meats, fish, vegetables, salads, breads and selected desserts. Add off-heat or at the table to preserve the flakes.

Can I boil pasta or rice with it?

You can, but the delicate flakes dissolve. Use regular salt for boiling and reserve fleur de sel for finishing.

What are the ingredients and allergens?

Ingredients: 100% sea salt (fleur de sel). ALLERGENS: none.

How should I store fleur de sel?

Keep airtight in a cool, dry place away from steam and light. Reseal promptly to maintain crispness.

How it’s made

On hot, calm days, a delicate layer of salt crystals forms naturally on the surface of shallow salt pans. These “salt flowers” are carefully skimmed by hand in the morning and gently dried — no additives, minimal processing.

Desserts: a light touch on chocolate or caramel for contrast.
