The rare fleur de sel salt is scooped by hand from the surface at the beginning of the salt process and then dried by the sun. The 100% natural sea salt is not refined, not washed, and not ground. Good fleur de sel does not taste so much salty, but briny. Where you use regular salt as a flavor enhancer, you can use this sea salt as a finishing touch to add just that bit of brininess. This variant is with garlic and parsley. Delicious over potatoes and vegetables. Goes well with a fine piece of steak or salmon fillet. Packaged in a beautiful jar with a cork lid.
