Fiore di Sale sea salt flakes from Sicily, 0.5–2 mm

Product description

Fiore di Sale is a natural sea salt from the traditional salt pans of Trapani in Sicily. The pale white, delicate flakes with a grain size of 0.5–2.0 mm dissolve easily and give dishes a mild, clean saltiness.

For Biova, this flake salt is gently produced, harvested by hand and processed without any additives. Its granular, coarse structure makes it a versatile choice for professional kitchens and for anyone who prefers a pure gourmet salt.

In use, Sicilian Fiore di Sale is ideal for finishing dishes directly at the table, as an elegant table salt or for precise seasoning. Whether Mediterranean dishes, fresh salads or grilled vegetables – these salt flakes add subtle highlights with a fine crunch.

Origin

This sea salt comes from Italy, from the saltworks of Trapani in the northwest of Sicily. Sun, sea breezes and clean seawater create ideal conditions for Biova’s premium Fiore di Sale.

Cultivation / production / harvest

In shallow evaporation ponds, seawater is concentrated by 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 a granular, coarse flake salt in convenient bulk packs.

Special features

Typical are the bright white colour and the flaky yet granular structure with a grain size of 0.5–2.0 mm. Compared to conventional table salt, these flakes taste milder, melt pleasantly on the tongue and enhance flavours without overpowering them.

Origin and processing differences

Unlike industrially refined table salt, this Sicilian sea salt remains largely unrefined. The special microclimate of Trapani and traditional hand harvesting give Biova’s salt flakes their distinctive sensory profile.

Taste & aroma

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

• As a table salt for finishing meat, fish and vegetables directly at the table
