Fleur de sel pyramid salt | flakes | 2-12 mm

What is it about / Product description

This Fleur de Sel pyramid salt from Biova is a premium sea salt with characteristic, delicate-walled salt pyramids. The white flakes from Indian Ocean seawater are particularly decorative and melt gently on the tongue. Their mildly salty taste gives dishes a fine, nuanced seasoning.

Thanks to gentle harvesting and drying in the sun, a natural flake salt with a crunchy structure is created. The coarse grain size of around 2–12 mm makes the salt ideal as a table salt for final seasoning. Biova relies on carefully selected bulk goods of consistent quality.

In creative cuisine, Fleur de Sel pyramid salt is excellent for final seasoning directly on the plate. The decorative pyramid flakes highlight the texture and appearance of meat, fish, vegetables or pasta. Thanks to the low residual moisture, the salt can also be used in suitable salt mills.

Origin

The pyramid salt is obtained from Indian Ocean seawater and processed in Pakistan. The warm, dry climate with intense sunlight promotes natural evaporation. This creates a high-quality sea salt with a clear, white color.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

For Biova pyramid salt, seawater is directed into shallow evaporation ponds and concentrated there into a brine solely by sun and wind. As soon as the brine is saturated, fine crystal skins form on the surface, from which the typical pyramids slowly “grow”.

Special features

The delicate salt pyramids are harvested by experienced salt workers by hand with special tools before they sink. They are then dried in drying houses using only solar energy. The result is a genuine Fleur de Sel in pyramid form with an especially delicate structure.

Differences in origin and processing

Compared to classic sea salt from industrial boiling, this flake salt is created purely through natural evaporation. Manual harvesting ensures largely intact pyramids and a decorative appearance. Regional conditions and traditional techniques give Biova salt its characteristic style.

Taste & aroma

Sensory-wise, the pyramid salt is characterized by a mild, clear salt taste without intrusive bitter notes. The fine flakes crunch lightly when bitten and then dissolve quickly. In terms of aroma, the salt is neutral and blends harmoniously into a wide variety of dishes.

Possible uses

• As a finishing salt for seasoning steaks, fish and grilled vegetables directly at the table
