Cretan Sea Salt Blossom - Fleur de Sel de Crete 370gr
The Cretan Sea Salt Blossom (fleur de sel) has a genuine, pure and unspoiled flavour provided by the breeze and iodine coming from the sea. It consists of large crystals, rich in sea moisture. It has not undergone any processing like the common fine-grained salt of the market. The crystals of this sea salt blossom are collected by hand from the rocky shores in the area of Kissamos in Chania, Balos and Falasarna.
The water at this part of the sea, near Falassarna in Chania, is among the purest in the Mediterranean, because of frequent sea currents observed in this area, resulting in a natural purification of the waters at the northwest of Chania. Scientists state that the purity of the water is the reason why some sea mammals choose that area to give birth to their babies. The water purity also justifies the high clarity of the white crystals of this sea salt blossom as well as their bright and sparkling look.
The Cretan Sea Salt Blossom (fleur de sel) is naturally rich in trace elements, minerals and iodine which are extremely beneficial for the human body. It has a natural sparkling white color and a salted, airy aftertaste that is not comparable to any kind of salt or sea salt blossom from any other part of Greece. It is formed in the natural cavities of the rocks where the waves fill these small or larger salt marshes. The sun evaporates the seawater and salt flakes are formed on the top. These salt flakes are really hard to collect, by hand or using a skimmer.
It is a product of excellent quality, that mantains its nutrients unspoiled. If you taste the Cretan Sea Salt Blossom, you will undoubtedly experience a gastronomic delight, as it completes the puzzle of the healthy diet and quality food by giving color,sound and taste to every meal. Use it without hesitation in all your dishes, even in sweet recipes as necessary, and experience its full taste, enriched by the sea water and sunshine.
