Fleur de sel (“Flower of salt” in French) is a hand-harvested
sea salt collected by workers who scrape only the top layer
of salt before it sinks to the bottom of large salt pans.
Traditional French fleur de sel is collected off the coast of
Brittany (most notably in the town of Guérande - Fleur de Sel
de Guérande, hand harvested from salt marsh water being
the most revered), Noirmoutier, and also Camargue, and
is slightly grey due to the sandy minerals collected in the
process of harvesting the salt from the pans. Fleur de sel is
one of most expensive salts in the world and is usually sold in
jars as it is slightly damp.
