A fine and delicate fleur de sel flavoured with roasted spices

Fleur de sel enhances the delicate aromas of the roasted spices. Being so light, you can add it at the end of the cooking process, as it dissolves easily. It is divinely pure, adding just the right subtle hint of salt to your dishes.

Roasting the spices produces grilled aromas and toasted notes of caramel and hazelnut. Its gentle flavour is not spicy so it is ideal for all the family, perfect for initiating young tastebuds to new flavours!

Terre Exotique’s fleur de sel with roasted spices is a MUST HAVE in your spice rack!

Terre Exotique has created a delicate fleur de sel, flavoured with roasted spices. It is such a perfect companion for all your daily dishes that you’ll soon be hooked! Sail off into the horizon with this delicious emblematic Terre Exotique recipe…

Madagascar fleur de sel, a delicate jewel from the salt ponds of Ifaty 

It is in Ifaty, in South-West Madagascar, that the salty marshes which produce this tasty salt are to be found. The seawater that fills these clay ponds evaporates due to the sun and the wind. This fleur de sel is so delicate that it is carefully collected by hand and not by rake, thus maintaining its light fluffy texture without damaging it.

Tasty spices that are used in curry

Terre Exotique’s exclusive recipe was inspired by traditional recipes from La Reunion, where the local women always start their dish by roasting a selection of spices before adding their personal touch. The spices we chose are similar to those used in curry: coriander, sesame, garlic, fenugreek, and cumin. When roasted, their aromas change and develop more complex flavours. Cumin, for example, loses its bitterness to release woody notes. All the flavours of La Reunion at the tip of your fingers!

Where does this fleur de sel with roasted spices come from? 

This flavoured fleur de sel comes all the way from Madagascar to the Touraine region in France 

It all starts with the salt ponds of Ifaty, a heavenly spot in South-West Madagascar. These lagoon-like marshes are the land of the semi-nomadic Vezo fishermen. When the fishing season comes to a close, they turn to producing fleur de sel. The local people use expert traditional processes to collect this precious treasure by hand. When it arrives in Touraine, in central France, it is mixed with the roasted spices in our workshop where the spices are toasted and roasted. Then they are sorted in small quantities to ensure they stay fresh. 

An exclusive creation in partnership with the salt farmers of La Reunion 

This fleur de sel with roasted spices is undoubtedly one of Terre Exotique’s emblematic products. After Erwann de Kerros brought Penja pepper back from Cameroon, what he needed was a delicious salt! He met some salt farmers who had just set up in La Reunion. What better companion for his Penja pepper, than fleur de sel mixed with traditional roasted spices from La Reunion!
