FINE GRAIN
Bali Fleur de Sel
Since ancient times, Fleur de Sel crystals have been treasured for their ability to heighten the flavors of any ingredient they meet. Bali's Fine Grain salt crystals are produced in the dry season when the sun shines down on the black sand beaches causing rapidcrystallization of the brine. In the early morning twilight, fluffy miniature snowflake crystals are harvested from the brine's surface to dry as the sun rises overhead. They are a Fleur de Sel as fine and beautiful as any we have ever experienced!
