Review 3 for Fleur de Sel
BranAppetit

I've never had real "fleur de sel" before this, and I'm never going to be without it again! I have fallen in love with the fluffy texture and the deep salty flavor it gives to dishes. It's also especially delicious to use when making toffee. Great to have on hand in the kitchen, and would also make a great gift!

This salt is amazing. I'm a no salt person. Up until now, I felt that salt took away from the natural flavor of food instead of enhancing it. This salt really does enhance food and feels good to use while cooking. It is a great product. And a little bit goes a long way so it is inexpensive to use.

This fleur de sel is similar to many gourmet fleurs de sel I have enjoyed over the years. Typically, the product is moist, with clumps of crystalline salt clinging tightly together. This ample supply, in a wide-mouth jar, is less moist than usual--a welcome change. Flavor is good. Color is excellent. Price is acceptable, and this is a premium product. What is not okay, is that the tamper seal on the bottle I received had clearly been cut before its arrival at my door in the sealed Chefs Catalog package.

This salt adds a pleasing crunch to a tossed green salad. It has a sea-briny flavor, and is not as salty as regular table salt. Can't live without it!

Great Sea Salt
PostedJuly 8, 2011
Since buying this sea salt I have used it on and in many things. It is much better than the sea salt you might buy at your local grocer. On top of that you don't need to use a lot to get the desired taste you want. Highly Recommended.

Taste of Provence

First had the real stuff in the south of France. A wonderful finishing salt with a smell like the breezes off the salt marshes there. Adds a clean taste missing from mined salts.
