You saw it dusted on the foie gras. Sprayed on Ganache. Crowned at the top of the scallops. But Fleur de Sel is not just a final salt: it is the final move. It is the salt that transforms the technique into applause. The moment that takes a break on a mid -air.

What is Fleur de Sel?
Fleur de Sel is a rare sea salt by coastal France, evaluated for its delicate and shaking crystals, soft blinish flavor and use as a final touch on gourmet dishes.
Collected by the ponds of salt of Guérande, it is formed only in the sun and the wind perfect. The craftsmen rak him gently, preserving his fragile flakes rich in minerals. No refining. No bleach. Only intention.
This salt was not born in the factory. It is collected with intention and tradition – a condiment that brings the history of its origin to every crystal.

A short story behind the bow
Fleur de Sel was appreciated by the seventh century, first by the French nobility and finally by chefs all over the world. Its name – which means “salt flower” – derives from the way in which it blooms gently through the salt pans. Even today, it is collected in Guérande using wooden and secular techniques.
You are not just using salt: you are continuing a culinary tradition.
Because the chefs still choose it
Fleur de Sel not only seasonal. It ends. It melts in plot. It is sharpened without stealing the spotlight.
“For raw dishes or plated desserts, Fleur de Sel is the final punctuation. Nothing is approaching.”
– Chef Taylor | Lafayette Spices
Use it where the plot counts. Where the dish ended, but the story is not.
How to use it (how do you mean)
For the tip: Never cook with it. Heat destroys what makes it magical.
Chef Taylor suggestion: Try it on grilled watermelon with micro basil. The contrast is wild: it will make your line stop in the round. When I went to Fleur de Sel for the first time on our Tartara, it was over. The guests did not ask “what’s inside”, they asked “how”.
The 5 best uses in a professional cuisine

Welcome couple. Salt not only seasoning, speaks.
Myths worthy of being shattered
- “It’s just expensive sea salt.” Fleur de Sel is a surface crystal, not produced in series. Its consistency and humidity are unique.
- “It’s just for sweet dishes.” It also adds finesse to salted proteins, fatty and raw plates.
