Aquasel - Fleur de Sel

 
W are pleased to offer you a beautiful fleur de sel from the Ré island, PGI and Fair For Life certified (fair trade). It comes from a cooperative well-known for its expertise in manual harvesting, which is now being carried on by a passionate younger generation. These are wonderful producers who also collaborate with an ESAT (a social support organization for workers with disabilities).
 
 
These are hand-harvested daily in the summer months by the ‘saunier’. It is then drained and air-dried for a year before the salt is packaged at the facilities of the cooperative. The salt is famous for its subtle fragrance of violets, softness, lack of bitterness and excellent length in the mouth.
 
Though delicate in flavour this salt has a more pronounced taste and only a little is needed to give good flavour. “Fleur de sel’ is packed with trace elements and minerals. It has a much lower sodium content, which can be harmful in large quantities. Great for seasoning at the table together with our EVOOO, it makes a pefect combinastion of flavours.
 
About the Producer:
The future of this traditional agriculture and the saltwater business is perpetuated by a contract with Aquasel which guarantees prices and volumes over the long term.
