Product Description

Size: 6.5 oz jar

Imagine the delicate salt crystals of fleur de sel combined with a gentle smoke flavor that has an undercurrent of chardonnay.

Gentle winds blowing from the east forms fine, downward growing crystals on the very top layer of the salt ponds.  A special rake that barely skims the surface is used to harvest these unique crystals.  Pale pink when harvested, fleur de sel dries to small flaky crystals with a moist texture and a slight grey/pink cast.

After harvesting, this unique salt is then smoked using the wood of select French oak wine barrels that were used to age French chardonnay wine.  During smoking, the fleur de sel turns a pale brown and absorbs the complex flavor combination of smoke, oak and chardonnay.

Variations in mineral content and harvesting methods create the unique look and taste of individual sea salts.  Differences in flavor are subtle yet delicious.  To get the most out of sea salts, add them after cooking and do not use sea salts on highly seasoned foods.
