When kosher salt just won't do

Most girls want jewelry, purses, or expensive cloths. Me, I want salt. Fleur de sel to be exact. This is the best finishing salt in the world. There is a marked diffence in foods finshed with and without fleur de sel.

Specifically, fleur de sel or flower of salt is a hand-harvested sea salt collected by workers who scrape only the top layer of salt before it sinks to the bottom of large salt pans. Traditional French fleur de sel is collected off the coast of Brittany (most notably in the town of Guérande - Fleur de Sel de Guérande, hand harvested from salt marsh water being the most revered), Noirmoutier, and also Camargue, and is slightly grey due to the sandy minerals collected in the process of harvesting the salt from the pans.

I was thrilled to find it at the Gourmet Shop and even at a rate of $16.99 I couldn't pass it up. I promise, it will change your life.
