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

What it is / Product description

This Fleur de Sel from Biova is a fine pyramid salt made from the seawater of the Indian Ocean. The thin-walled white salt pyramids with a coarse flake size of around 2–12 mm are particularly decorative and melt gently on the tongue. The mildly salty, clean taste rounds off numerous dishes in a harmonious way.

Thanks to gentle harvesting and natural drying in the sun, a natural flake salt with a crispy structure is created. As high-quality bulk goods, Biova sea salt is carefully selected and offered in consistently high quality. The flaky, granulated grain size is ideal as a finishing salt and underlines the requirements of professional kitchen applications.

In creative cooking, you can use Fleur de Sel pyramid salt in many ways – from final seasoning of meat, fish and grilled vegetables to pasta, bowls and salads. The decorative pyramid flakes emphasize the texture and appearance of your dishes and, thanks to their low residual moisture, can also be used in suitable salt mills. This way you can give every dish a fine, nuanced seasoning with little effort.

Origin

The pyramid salt comes from the seawater of the Indian Ocean and is harvested and processed in Pakistan. The warm, dry climate with intense sunlight promotes natural evaporation in shallow basins. This creates a high-quality white sea salt that Biova offers as a decorative flake salt.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

For this flake salt, seawater is channeled into evaporation ponds and thickened into a concentrated brine using only sun and wind. Fine crystal skins form on the surface, from which the typical salt pyramids slowly grow. Experienced salt workers carefully skim off the delicate flakes by hand before they sink.

Special features

The salt pyramids are harvested with special tools and then dried in drying houses using only solar energy. This largely preserves the delicate, crispy structure of the flakes. Compared to conventional flake salts, this Biova sea salt impresses with its pronounced pyramid shape, coarse grain size and particularly decorative appearance.

Differences in origin and processing

In contrast to industrially evaporated sea salt, this pyramid salt is created purely through natural evaporation without technical crystallization processes. Manual harvesting ensures largely intact pyramids and an airy structure. Regional conditions in Pakistan and traditional production techniques shape the characteristic style of this Biova flake salt.

Taste & aroma

From a sensory point of view, the salt is characterized by a mild, clean saltiness without intrusive bitter notes. The fine flakes crunch lightly when bitten and then dissolve quickly, allowing aromas to unfold harmoniously. In terms of aroma, the sea salt is neutral and suits a wide variety of dishes without overpowering other ingredients.
