The special flavour experience!
The “salt flower” of the sea is the noblest and one of the most valuable of all salts, rich in minerals and important trace elements and free from any additives.
The shape of the salt crystals was the inspiration for the name. It only forms under optimal climatic conditions. If the seawater brine in a salt garden has a salt content of at least 250 grams per litre, the eponymous flakes form on the surface of the water under optimal climatic conditions. Plenty of sunshine, low humidity and wind from a certain direction, which must not be too strong or too weak, are the prerequisites.
This is how the tiny salt crystals form on the surface of the pools during the course of the day. These are pushed together by the wind and harvested in the late afternoon using a special device. This work requires a great deal of skill and dexterity, as the layer of salt, which resembles a fine sheet of ice, breaks easily and sinks to the bottom of the basin. Even in the very best summers, the harvest of the salt flowers only accounts for a small single-digit percentage of the total harvest.
Water quality plays a special role in the origin of the fleur de sel. The water should be free of undesirable by-products and impurities and rich in minerals.
The various types of fleur de sel from KrügerGourmet come exclusively from well-known salt pans in large nature reserves. In view of its high content of trace elements and minerals, it can therefore rightly be claimed that fleur de sel is the richest organic natural salt currently available on the market in terms of nutrients.
