When harvested, fleur de sel is pale pink in color. It becomes white after drying naturally in the sun. The salt gatherer harvests it with a special rake each summer afternoon. Only 1 kg is produced for every 80 kg of coarse sea salt.Fleur de sel, with its subtle taste of violets, is amazing used at the table to replace ordinary table salt. Known as the finest salt on the planet, several grains suffice for flavoring an individual serving.
