Fleur de Sel

Fleur de Sel from Anfeh is harvested from some of the oldest salt marshes in the Mediterranean. The salt is produced using traditional artisanal methods that have been passed down through generations, resulting in delicate crystals with a clean taste and natural mineral complexity. Anfeh's salt is often referred to locally as "white gold."

Unlike regular sea salt, Fleur de Sel forms as a thin layer of fragile crystals on the surface of seawater during hot, dry, and slightly windy conditions. In Anfeh, these crystals are carefully skimmed by hand from the top of the salt ponds using traditional tools, usually in the late afternoon when conditions are ideal. Because it can only be harvested under specific weather conditions, production is naturally limited.

Fleur de Sel is primarily a finishing salt rather than a cooking salt. Its delicate flakes and subtle crunch are best appreciated when sprinkled over food just before serving. It is especially popular on grilled fish, seafood, meats, roasted vegetables, salads, and fresh bread with olive oil.

Absolutely. A small pinch of Fleur de Sel enhances sweet flavors by creating contrast and depth. It pairs particularly well with chocolate, caramel, brownies, cookies, ice cream, and other desserts where a delicate salty finish can elevate the overall flavor experience.

Fleur de Sel is rare because it forms only under specific weather conditions and must be harvested entirely by hand. Only the thin surface crystals are collected, yielding much smaller quantities than ordinary sea salt. The labor-intensive process and limited production make it one of the most prized artisanal salts in the world.
