What Is Fleur de Sel?
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.
Fleur de sel, however, is produced by a process that is considerably more complicated. It involves collecting the thin layer of salt that rises to the surface of shallow pools of seawater along the coast of Portugal.
Fleur de Sel vs. Sea Salt
Because it forms naturally under certain very limited weather conditions, and because it must be skimmed off by hand using special sieves, fleur de sel is, by any estimation, an extremely expensive product.
This makes sense if you think about how fleur de sel differs from ordinary sea salt. Ordinary sea salt is made by evaporating seawater and then collecting the remaining salt into mounds.
