Product Information
- Artisanal Portuguese coarse sea salt, also known as "flor de sal" or "fleur de sel," is a type of sea salt that is harvested from the coastal regions of Portugal. It is often considered a high-quality gourmet salt due to its unique characteristics and traditional harvesting methods.
- Harvesting Method: The salt is typically harvested using traditional methods that involve the evaporation of seawater in salt pans or salt flats along the Portuguese coast. This process allows the salt to form naturally, capturing the minerals and flavors of the sea.
- Crystals and Texture: Portuguese coarse sea salt is characterized by its larger crystals and coarse texture. These crystals are often irregular in shape and may vary in size, giving the salt a distinctive appearance.
- Flavor Profile: The salt is prized for its complex flavor profile, which includes a mild brininess and a subtle sweetness. The coarse texture also provides a satisfying crunch when used as a finishing salt.
