Terre Exotique's Christmas fleur de sel

What spices make up the Christmas fleur de sel?

Christmas fleur de sel is a delicate blend of Madagascar fleur de sel and cinnamon, fennel, green anise, coriander, ginger, nutmeg, black pepper, cloves, and green cardamom.

Madagascar fleur de sel, a true jewel from the Ifaty salt pans

In the southwest of Madagascar Island, in Ifaty, lie the salt marshes that produce this delicious salt. The sea water contained in these clay basins evaporates due to the combined action of wind and sun. The fabulous result gives birth to this fleur de sel. It is not harvested with a rake but is handpicked with great delicacy, allowing it to retain its light and airy texture without breaking.

A bit of history

The origins of Madagascar's fleur de sel

Madagascar, also known as "Africa with Asian eyes," is home to Ifaty Island. Its salt pans remain free from all pollution. The Ifaty fleur de sel has always been harvested by the Vezo people. Originally, this ethnic group lived off fishing, but unfortunately, the island's resources gradually decreased. They then began to harvest the pure and immaculate Ifaty fleur de sel, as only they possess the knowledge of this harvest.
