Fleur de Sel is a type of sea salt that is harvested from the surface of salt ponds, primarily in coastal regions of France. It is known for its delicate, flaky texture and subtle flavor, making it a popular finishing salt for various dishes. The name translates to "flower of salt," reflecting its light, airy crystals that resemble flowers. The harvesting process involves carefully skimming the salt from the water's surface during specific weather conditions. Fleur de Sel is often used to enhance the taste of meats, vegetables, and desserts, adding a touch of elegance to culinary creations.
