Origin – What is Fleur de Sel Camargue?
The name says it all: Fleur de Sel Camargue comes from the traditional salt gardens of the Camargue. It is a natural sea salt with a fine, crispy texture. Fleur de Sel is loved by gourmet and professional chefs alike.
Culinary Use – Fine Sea Salt Crystals
This gourmet salt features delicate salt flakes that melt on the tongue. It offers a clean, pure salt taste and enhances the natural flavor of food.
It’s perfect as a finishing salt for grilled fish, steaks, or vegetables. Simply sprinkle it over your dish before serving.
Mix it with your favorite spices or herbs – for example with French Piment d'Espelette – and create your own seasoning blend.
The Camargue Region
Located in the Rhône Delta in southern France, the Camargue is known for its salt marshes and rich biodiversity. It’s also home to Europe's only nesting site for flamingos.
How Fleur de Sel is Made
Unlike Guerande salt, the Camargue variety is produced using an advanced irrigation system instead of relying on tides. Seawater from the Mediterranean is pumped into shallow salt basins starting in March each year. With a salt content of 3.8%, the water evaporates under the summer sun and wind.
As the water evaporates, delicate salt crystals form on the surface. These are hand-harvested and known as Fleur de Sel or "salt flowers" – a true gift of nature. The crystals are slightly moist, light, and crisp, with an intense flavor.
Storage Instructions
Store your Fleur de Sel in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
