Description

Fleur de sel (pronounced "flure-de-SELL") is a rare and expensive form of sea salt that is harvested in parts of France. In French, the name translates as "flower of salt." It's delicate, flaky, and perfect for adding to dishes just before serving them.

Salt is a common mineral on our planet, and most of the salt that's used in cooking is either dug out of the ground, in much the same way coal or other minerals are extracted, or extracted via a technique similar to fracking, where freshwater is pumped into the ground above a salt deposit. The salt dissolves in the water, and the salt-saturated water is then pumped out of another well and evaporated to create salt.

Both these methods are comparatively simple, albeit performed on a large scale.

Once you've procured a stash of fleur de sel, you will want to use it carefully. For one thing, it is very delicate and will quickly dissolve, so it really should be added to a dish immediately before serving. You'll still taste it after it dissolves, but you won't see it or feel its distinctive texture.

One interesting use of fleur de sel is sprinkling it on candies, caramels, or other sweet items, like creme brulee, which both heightens and contrasts the sweetness.Other uses include as a topping for oatmeal, eggs, vegetables, cooked meats, poultry, and fish, as well as baked goods from cupcakes to pretzels.
