Fleur de Sel | 2-20mm | Herkunft: Griechenland

What is it about / Product description

Fleur de Sel from Greece is a natural sea salt from traditional salt gardens on the Mediterranean coast. The coarse, irregular crystals with a grain size of around 2–20 mm resemble small salt flowers and give dishes an elegant, Mediterranean touch. As a fine gourmet salt, it rounds off dishes subtly yet distinctly.

At Biova, gentle, artisanal production is paramount: the sea salt is skimmed by hand, air-dried and not refined. This preserves the natural structure, slight residual moisture and typical mineral content to a large extent. Each 1 kg unit is carefully filled and offers consistent quality for sophisticated cuisine.

In creative cooking, this Fleur de Sel is ideal as a finishing salt that refines dishes directly before serving. Whether grilled vegetables, fresh fish, aromatic meat or crusty bread – the sea salt from Greece enhances flavors without overpowering them. Discover a versatile companion for Mediterranean-inspired and modern dishes with Biova.

Origin

The sea salt comes from sun-drenched salt gardens on the Greek Mediterranean coast, where clean seawater and a mild climate create ideal conditions. Sun and wind allow the water to evaporate slowly and promote the formation of fine salt flowers on the surface. These natural conditions ensure consistently high quality and a well-balanced flavor profile.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

For Biova sea salt, seawater is directed into shallow evaporation ponds and gently concentrated there. Once the characteristic crystals form on the surface, they are carefully skimmed off by hand. The salt is then air-dried, roughly sieved and packed in a grain size of around 2–20 mm.

Special features

Typical of this Fleur de Sel are the slightly moist, delicate crystals that dissolve pleasantly on the tongue when eaten. In contrast to refined table salt, the original structure of the sea salt is fully preserved. The artisanal production in small batches makes Biova sea salt an authentic natural product for connoisseurs.

Differences in origin and processing

Sea salts differ in mineral content, crystal shape and moisture depending on their region of origin. Greek Fleur de Sel is known for its mild saltiness and comparatively large crystals, which are ideal as a finishing salt. Traditional hand harvesting and the absence of refining underline the natural character of this gourmet salt.

Taste & aroma

In terms of taste, the sea salt is soft, rounded and pleasantly salty, without sharp or bitter notes. The coarse crystals provide a light crunch before gently dissolving on the tongue. The aroma is subtle, with a fine hint of sea and freshness that complements dishes unobtrusively.

Possible uses

• As a finishing salt to round off grilled vegetables, fish and meat shortly before serving.
