Flor de Sal | Delta del Ebro

What is it about / Product description

Flor de Sal from the Ebro Delta is a natural, white sea salt with a fine, flaky grain. In the Salines de la Trinitat on Spain’s Catalan Mediterranean coast, the delicate salt flakes form on the water’s surface. With this, Biova offers a mild gourmet salt that rounds off dishes with a subtle and clear saltiness.

Thanks to traditional production in the protected nature reserve, the natural mineral content is largely preserved. The flakes are carefully harvested by hand, slowly dried and packed without additives. This gives you a high-quality sea salt that can be distributed evenly and allows for precise dosing.

In the kitchen, this Flor de Sal is ideal as a finishing salt for hot and cold dishes. Sprinkle the fine salt flakes over meat, fish, vegetables or salads shortly before serving to highlight texture and aroma. Also on bread with butter, in dips or on Mediterranean dishes, Biova sea salt provides a harmonious finishing touch.

Origin

The sea salt comes from Spain, specifically from the Ebro Delta in Catalonia, an important wetland on the Mediterranean coast. Sun, wind and clean Mediterranean water create ideal conditions for fine, white sea salts with a flaky structure.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

In shallow evaporation ponds, a fine layer of salt flakes forms on the water’s surface during the summer months. These Flor de Sal crystals are carefully skimmed off by hand, air-dried and packed into bags of approx. 1.05 kg without refining or additives.

Special features

Characteristic are the fine, flaky grain, the bright white color and the natural mineral content. Compared to conventional table salt, this sea salt tastes milder and less sharp. The combination of traditional hand harvesting and origin from a protected natural area makes it a special delicacy in the Biova range.

Differences in origin and processing

In contrast to industrially produced evaporated salt, this sea salt is created exclusively through the evaporation of seawater. The microclimate of the Ebro Delta, with plenty of sun and steady wind, shapes the texture and taste of the salt flakes. The elaborate hand harvest, which is only possible for a few weeks a year, clearly distinguishes Flor de Sal from coarse or finely ground sea salt.

Taste & aroma

From a sensory perspective, Flor de Sal offers a mild, clear salt taste without intrusive sharpness. The fine flakes dissolve easily and enhance the natural flavors of the food instead of masking them. A neutral, fresh maritime character without off-notes makes this sea salt highly versatile.

Possible applications

• As a finishing salt for grilled meat, fish and seafood shortly before serving
