Fleur de sel from Camargue, 1 kg

What a delicious treasure from Camargue !

This fleur de sel from Camargue comes from the formation of salt crystals on the surface of salt ponds. It has a light and slightly crunchy texture. Its pink colour and scents of violet come from Dunaliella sallina, a reddish micro-algae found in salty marshes.

Camargue and particularly the town Aigues-Morte has been a salt producing area since Ancient times (6000 B.C.). Nowadays, this fleur de sel benefits from the expertise of the Camargue salt workers and an ideal coastal climate A thin crust of white crystals forms on the surface of the salt ponds when the water evaporates due to the sun and the wind. Fleur de sel from Camargue goes with all your sweet or savoury dishes. Best used after cooking to maintain all the delicate aromas.
