Imported Sea Salt from France, is a salt that forms as a thin, delicate crust on the surface of seawater as it evaporates. Fleur de sel has been collected since ancient times It is now used as a finishing salt to flavour and garnish food.  The name comes from the flower-like patterns of crystals in the salt crust.

Fleur de sel can be collected only when it is very sunny, dry, and with slow, steady winds. Because of the nature of its formation, fleur de sel is produced in small quantities. At Guérande, France, each salt marsh produces only about one kilo (2.2 pounds) per day. Because of this and the labor-intensive way in which it is harvested, fleur de sel is the most expensive of salts.
