Flor de Sal | Delta del Ebro

What is it about / Product description

This Flor de Sal comes from the Salines de la Trinitat in the Ebro Delta on the Catalan Mediterranean coast in Spain. The fine white salt flakes form on the water surface and are gently harvested by hand. This unrefined sea salt impresses with its delicate, flaky structure and pleasantly mild taste.

Thanks to traditional production in a protected nature reserve, the natural mineral content of this sea salt is largely preserved. Biova places particular emphasis on gentle processing without additives, so you receive a pure, unadulterated salt product. The fine grain size ensures an even distribution on dishes and supports precise dosing.

In the kitchen, this Flor de Sal is ideal for final seasoning of meat, fish, vegetables and salads. Sprinkle the flaky crystals over your dishes shortly before serving to highlight texture and aroma and to consciously use the main keyword Flor de Sal. This way you give everyday dishes as well as refined menus a clearly defined, well-balanced salt taste.

Origin

The salt comes from Spain, specifically from the Ebro Delta in Catalonia, an important wetland on the Mediterranean coast. The interplay of sun, wind and seawater creates ideal conditions for high-quality sea salt. Its location in a largely intact nature reserve ensures a particularly pristine environment and underlines Biova’s commitment to quality.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

Salt production in the Salines de la Trinitat has a long artisanal tradition. From the summer months until around the end of September, fine crystal plates form on the surface of the salt basins, known as Flor de Sal. These are carefully skimmed off by hand, dried and filled without further refining.

Special features

Flor de Sal from the Ebro Delta is characterized by its flaky, fine structure and a high natural mineral content. Compared to conventional table salt, it tastes milder and less sharp. The combination of traditional hand harvesting, sea-salt quality and origin from a protected natural area makes this product a distinctive specialty in the Biova range.

Differences in origin and processing

Unlike industrially produced evaporated salt, this sea salt is obtained exclusively by evaporation of seawater. Manual harvesting of Flor de Sal is only possible for a few weeks a year and requires stable weather conditions. Regional factors such as the microclimate of the Ebro Delta and the mineral composition of the seawater shape the taste and texture of these white salt flakes.

Taste & aroma

In sensory terms, this Flor de Sal offers a pleasantly mild, clear salt taste without intrusive sharpness. The fine flakes dissolve easily and emphasize the inherent aromas of the food instead of masking them. A neutral, fresh maritime character without foreign odour notes makes the salt versatile in use.

Possible uses

• As a finishing salt for sprinkling over grilled meat, fish or seafood immediately before serving
• For rounding off vegetable dishes, salads, carpaccio or antipasti with a fine salty crispness
