Details
Flor de Sal is a genuine Portuguese salt from the Algarve coast and is one of the finest, most popular and sought-after types of salt. The relatively low yield, the skimming and refining, which is mainly done by hand, as well as its excellent snow-white quality give it names such as “flower of salt” or “queen of salts”. The delicate crystals are slightly moist, contain many minerals and melt on the tongue to form a spicy hint of the sea. The fine flakes of Flor de Sal enhance salads and cold dishes and are best suited for seasoning by hand.
Fun fact: Salt has been extracted and refined using the same method on the Algarve coast for more than 1000 years. This is where the most sunny days in Europe are recorded, which is very beneficial for the Flor de Sal. It is produced almost exclusively on particularly hot and windless days, which explains its rarity.
