Fiore di sale | flakes | 0.5-2.0 mm

What is it? / Product description

Fiore di Sale is a fine, natural sea salt from the traditional salt gardens of Trapani in Sicily. The light white, delicate flakes with a grain size of 0.5–2.0 mm dissolve easily and give dishes a mild, clear salty note.

For Biova, this flake salt is gently produced, harvested by hand and processed without additives. The granulated, coarse structure makes it a premium choice for sophisticated kitchens and for anyone who prefers a pure gourmet salt.

In use, Fiore di Sale is ideal for final seasoning directly at the table, as an elegant table salt or for mindful re-seasoning. Whether Mediterranean dishes, fresh salads or grilled vegetables – the salt flakes set subtle accents with a fine crunch.

Origin

The sea salt comes from Italy, from the salt pans of Trapani in the northwest of Sicily. Intense sunshine, constant sea breezes and clean seawater create ideal conditions for high-quality flake salt.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

In shallow evaporation ponds, seawater is concentrated under sun and wind until fine crystals form on the surface. This salt flower is carefully skimmed off by hand for Biova, gently dried and filled as granulated, coarse flake salt in practical bulk packaging.

Special features

Characteristic are the light white color and the flaky yet granulated structure with a grain size of 0.5–2.0 mm. Compared to conventional table salt, this flake salt tastes milder, dissolves pleasantly on the tongue and supports flavors without overpowering them.

Differences in origin and processing

In contrast to industrially refined table salt, this Sicilian sea salt remains largely natural. The special microclimate of Trapani and the traditional hand harvesting give Biova’s salt flakes a distinctive sensory profile.

Taste & aroma

Fiore di Sale from Biova offers a clear, mild salt taste without intrusive bitter notes. The fine flakes melt slowly, have a subtle aroma and underline the natural taste of the food, as is typical for high-quality fleur de sel.

• As a table salt for final seasoning of meat, fish and vegetables directly at the table
