Ingredient:Fleur de sel
From Wiki_Recipe
Fleur de sel (French for "flower of salt") is one of the rarest and most expensive salts in the world. It is a delicate, slightly moist finishing salt with a complex, briny flavor that carries a distinct taste of the ocean.
Origin
True Fleur de sel is hand-harvested primarily in the Guérande region of Brittany, France. Workers use specialized wooden rakes to gently skim only the very top layer of salt crystals that form on the surface of the salt evaporation ponds on hot, dry, slightly breezy days.
Nutritional Information
