The Fleur de Sel from Guérande is carefully harvested by the two independent paludiers Gilles and Matthieu using traditional artisanal methods in the salt marshes in the Bay of Aranlec when there is an easterly wind, i.e. a wind coming from the sea. The profession of paludier is passed down from father to son, preserving the knowledge of the art of salt harvesting, so it's no surprise that Gilles and Matthieu are uncle and nephew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdded at the end of cooking or directly to your plate, this hand-harvested Fleur de Sel enhances or \"lifts\" the flavor of meat, grilled fish, or steamed vegetables. A few grains of Fleur de Sel on a cooked prime rib, a good breakfast egg, or a very sweet melon promise a taste revelation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eL'Atelier du Sel – Fleur de Sel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fleur de Sel, which is carefully hand-harvested from the water's surface in the basins of the L'Atelier du Sel saltworks every summer according to ancient tradition, is created by the interplay of sun and wind and the full attention of the paludier. The purity and quality of the Fleur de Sel depend on the precision of their work. It is a rare specialty, consisting of fine white crystals, crispy and delicate. Uncrushed and unwashed, these crystals of excellent quality retain their natural richness in trace elements. The Fleur de Sel from L'Atelier du Sel is a protected designation of origin salt from Guérande and bears the blue and yellow official seal. The incomparable taste of Fleur de Sel from Guérande is particularly popular with gourmets and Michelin-starred chefs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is special about Fleur de Sel Vent d’Ouest?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the Atlantic coast in Brittany, there are winds blowing from the sea as well as winds coming from the land, and indeed, the wind influences the taste of the salt. The easterly wind, i.e., the sea wind, is characterized by oceanic winds, laden with spray, which form a Fleur de Sel with a more pronounced grain. The grains crunch in the mouth and release their iodized aroma of sea and vastness before melting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"L'Atelier du Sel","offers":[{"title":"125 g","offer_id":53071473475918,"sku":"047MOR0001","price":6.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/1124\/5646\/files\/fleur-de-sel-de-guerande-l-atelier-du-sel.jpg?v=1750982310","url":"https:\/\/nurgutes.eu\/en\/products\/fleur-de-sel-de-guerande-vent-d-ouest-125g","provider":"nur Gutes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
