What is la flor de sal?

La Flor de Sal is a gourmet salt that is hand harvested from shallow, marshy salt pans in certain coastal regions of Spain, Portugal and France. It is known for its light, delicate flavor and unique texture, as well as its high mineral content. The name "Flor de Sal" comes from the delicate, flower-like shape of the salt crystals that form on the surface of the water during the harvesting process. It is often used as a finishing salt, added at the end of cooking to enhance flavor and texture, and is prized by chefs and foodies around the world for its quality and purity. La Flor de Sal is also often presented as a gift in decorative packaging, as it is considered a luxurious and special ingredient for cooking and entertaining.
