Fleur de sel is harvested in the Guérande salt marshes, late in the afternoon during very dry weather. Under the combined effect of the sun and a dry east wind, a fine skin of crystals forms on the surface of the “œillets”. This skin, which is a pure white as it has never touched clay, is carefully gathered by the salt workers using a special rake known as the “lousse à fleur”. The very special weather conditions and the small quantity produced make it a rare and much sought-after product.
Fleur de sel has been recognised by great chefs as a great, flavour-enhancing treasure for many years, and is now available to everyone thanks to the work of Le Guérandais.
