Table Salt

  Salt buried in the soil of ancient seas that are found in solid blocks are called rock salt. From this solid form  all impurities are then removed. In this process,  we then  manage to obtain a very pure salt made up of 98.8 or 99.9% sodium chloride.

Sea salt

  To extract salt from the sea, the seawater is brought into evaporation fields or areas, where it evaporates naturally from the wind and the sun. The brine concentration increases, and is transferred from one field to the other, the salt is finally crystallized.

It’s fragrance highlights and enhances the taste of food by salting more discreetly.

Fleur de Sel is collected by hand, which explains the higher cost than typical table salt, but when you look at the total cost of salt for an average family it still remains very affordable, especially if we want to add a little zest to our everyday dishes.
