Product Description
Le Guérandais Fleur de Sel de Guérande 125 g is a premium, hand-harvested finishing salt, prized by top chefs and food lovers alike. This fleur de sel is gently skimmed from the surface of the Guérande salt ponds using traditional techniques, preserving its delicate crystals and rich mineral character. With its natural moisture, clusters of fine crystals, and pure saltiness, it heightens flavours when added just before serving — on meats, vegetables, desserts, or chocolate.
-
Harvested by paludiers using a traditional tool called the “lousse,” gathering only the very top layer of salt that forms at the surface under ideal weather conditions
-
Unwashed, uncrushed, additive-free — retains trace minerals and natural characteristics of the salt marsh environment
-
Crystals are light, fine, and slightly moist, with a mild sea aroma — ideal for finishing dishes rather than as a cooking salt
-
Rare and delicate, produced in small quantities only under favourable meteorological conditions (dry, sunny, wind from the east)
-
Pack size: 125 g — artisan scale suitable for home use or as a gourmet gift
Why Choose this product?
-
Because it is a true gourmet finishing salt, not a regular table salt — just a pinch of these fine crystals adds nuance, crunch, and a touch of sea aroma to your dishes.
-
The delicate harvesting process ensures each crystal holds subtle flavours and minerals absent in refined salts.
-
Its moisture and purity make it perfect for final seasoning — ideal on grilled fish, steamed vegetables, chocolate desserts, caramels, or fresh bread.
-
Unlike industrial salts, this product embodies terroir — the climate, salt marsh environment, and tradition of Guérande are carried into your cooking.
-
By choosing this fleur de sel, you support the cooperative of salt workers (paludiers) in Guérande and the preservation of artisanal salt-harvesting practices.
