Fleur de sel is a very prized type of salt, produced in small quantities and harvested daily by the salt worker. Fleur de sel forms by the evaporation of the surface layers of water in the salt pans. The crystals of fleur de sel form as a film that floats on the surface of the water and are collected in the early morning hours when there is no wind, before they sink to the bottom.

Fleur de sel does not contain inclusions of brine, which are present in the salt crystals collected from the bottom. The absence of brine droplets gives fleur de sel a delicate flavor without the typical aftertaste of salt crystals, making it primarily used in gourmet kitchens.
