Fleur de sel
Worthy of fine dining
Hand-harvested from the salt marshes of Noirmoutier Island in France, our Fleur de sel forms on the water’s surface during hot summer days. Collected delicately from the top layer to preserve its brilliant white colour, it is then sun-dried, which enhances its aroma and rich mineral content.
With its crunchy texture and unique flavour, it’s a favourite among chefs. Its delicate and refined nature also makes it an ideal gift. The ultimate treat for those who love all things salty!
Why choose Maison Orphée ?
Our salt, harvested by hand in Noirmoutier Island's tidal marshes, does not undergo other techniques other than sun drying and grinding when you want to get a finer grain. This artisanal process leaves its natural grey color to salt.
