Fleur de sel is renowned for being an exceptional salt, a true gift from nature. Certain weather conditions must be met for it to form on the surface of the marshes: dry, sunny weather with an easterly wind.

The Fleur de sel is harvested using a "lousse", a traditional tool resembling a rake used to delicately skim the Fleur de sel from the surface of the water. Its crystals are light, fine and flaky. This is why the salt workers must harvest it quickly after it has formed on the surface of the water to preserve all its qualities.

A veritable ambrosia from the salt marshes, Fleur de sel is a natural salt with unique flavoring properties. It can be used both in cooking and baking to bring a touch of originality to your culinary creations. Used and loved for many years by top chefs around the world, Fleur de sel is now accessible to everyone, brought to the attention of the greatest number of people by our brand Le Guérandais.
