What is fleur de sel?
Fleur de sel is a highly prized type of salt. It crystallizes through the evaporation of the mother liquor in salting tanks. Unlike salt, it forms on the surface of the water, not at the bottom.

Its natural composition makes it very light and allows it to float.

Riserva del Mare fleur de sel is harvested by expert salt workers, using special nets in the early morning hours when there's no wind, to prevent it from settling to the bottom of the tank. Its thickness is only 3 millimeters, so production is very limited during the harvest, which takes place in July. It is dried naturally to preserve its properties, such as iodine, magnesium, and other essential trace elements.

Benefits of fleur de sel
Riserva del Mare fleur de sel contains no additives and is not chemically treated. Fleur de sel is considered a very rare, precious commodity. It has a delicate flavor that doesn't leave a bitter aftertaste, making it primarily used in gourmet cuisine and also recommended for desserts. We've also created variations of our products with organic Sicilian aromatic herbs and citrus fruits. How to use fleur de sel? Fleur de sel can be used in any recipe in place of traditional salt; it imparts a much more pronounced flavor than traditional salt.

How is fleur de sel harvested? Fleur de sel is harvested exclusively by hand at specific times of the day (early morning), which is why the available quantity is very limited.

Why choose fleur de sel over traditional salt? Fleur de sel retains its properties thanks to its special manufacturing process, which means it can be used much less in cooking, as it has a much higher salinity than refined salt.
