Fleur de Sel flake sea salt 0.5–2 mm, South Africa, bulk

Product description

Discover South African Fleur de Sel, a fine sea salt with delicate white flakes of around 0.5–2 mm. The light, flaky texture melts pleasantly on the tongue and gives dishes a precisely controllable saltiness.

Gentle harvesting and natural air-drying help preserve the salt’s original mineral composition. In proven Biova quality, these flakes are ideal as a reliable bulk product for foodservice, spice blenders and food manufacturers.

In the kitchen, Fleur de Sel is mainly used as a finishing salt at the table. The flakes can be easily crumbled between your fingers and enhance the natural flavour of meat, fish, vegetables, salads and desserts without overpowering them.

Origin

This sea salt comes from a South African saltworks fed by clean seawater. Sun and wind ensure slow evaporation and evenly white flakes in Biova quality.

Cultivation / production / harvest

Seawater is channelled into shallow ponds and concentrated by sun and breeze. As soon as the fine Fleur de Sel flakes form, they are skimmed off by hand, gently air-dried and packed without additives as coarse flake sea salt in bulk.

Characteristics

Unlike classic crystalline sea salt, this product has a flaky, slightly brittle structure with a grain size of 0.5–2 mm. Its untreated quality, bright colour and careful selection meet Biova’s high standards for white sea salt flakes in both bulk and retail variants.

Differences in origin and processing

Sea salts vary in mineral content, colour and crystal form depending on origin. South African Fleur de Sel is traditionally harvested by hand and air-dried, clearly distinguishing it from industrially evaporated salts and giving these salt flakes their fine texture.

Taste & aroma

On the palate, this flake salt is mildly salty and well balanced, without dominant bitter notes. The almost odourless flakes dissolve slowly and support the natural aromas of both hot and cold dishes.

Suggested uses

• As a table salt for finishing meat, fish and vegetable dishes directly on the plate.
• For refining salads, soups, bowls and cold starters just before serving.
• In spice mixes, rubs and salt blends for artisan producers, gastronomy and fine food manufacturing.
