Organic Flor de Sal | Flakes | 0.5-2.0 mm

What it is / Product description

Organic Flor de Sal is a fine sea salt from Portugal that appears as delicate white flakes with a grain size of around 0.5–2.0 mm. The flaky structure is formed in traditional salt pans on the Atlantic coast and makes this fleur de sel a distinctive gourmet salt. As a natural flake salt, it is ideal for a modern, health-conscious kitchen.

At Biova, the sea salt is gently harvested by hand, without refining and without additives, so that the diversity of minerals and the loose consistency are preserved. The flakes can be easily crumbled between the fingers and precisely dosed, which makes it interesting as bulk goods for gastronomy, manufacturers and resellers. The combination of organic quality, careful processing and defined grain size ensures reliable product quality.

In the kitchen, Organic Flor de Sal is ideal as a finishing salt to subtly refine dishes directly before serving. The mildly salty note enhances aromas without overpowering them and makes the flake salt versatile – from Mediterranean dishes to creative seasoned salt blends. This way you set fine accents at the table and in professional production with Biova sea salt.

Origin

The sea salt comes from the south of Portugal, where clean Atlantic water, intense sunshine and steady winds create ideal conditions for high-quality fleur de sel. In protected coastal areas, traditional salt gardens are cultivated, standing for particularly careful harvesting. The origin ensures consistent quality and a clear, white flake salt.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

In shallow salt pans, seawater collects and slowly evaporates under the sun. On warm summer days, a fine layer of salt flowers forms on the surface, which experienced salt workers carefully skim off by hand. Biova then gently air-dries the flake salt without further processing steps in order to preserve its structure and taste.

Special features

Characteristic are the soft, flaky crystals with a grain size of around 0.5–2.0 mm, which clearly differ from classic coarse sea salt. The white flake salt is natural, free from additives and classified as granulated / crushed / coarse, yet still offers a pleasantly delicate texture. For a purist, quality-oriented kitchen, this Biova flake salt is a versatile base.

Differences in origin and processing

In contrast to industrially refined table salt, the original crystal structure is fully preserved in this Portuguese sea salt. Manual harvesting and slow drying result in a loose, flaky consistency that clearly sets it apart from boiled or heavily processed salts. Biova deliberately relies on traditional methods to deliver an authentic natural product with transparent origin.

Taste & aroma

From a sensory perspective, the flake salt is mildly salty with a fine, unobtrusive seasoning. The flakes slowly melt on the tongue and support the inherent flavor of vegetables, fish, meat and cold dishes. In terms of aroma, the sea salt is subtle and neutral, without any disturbing off-notes.

Possible applications

• As a finishing salt for sprinkling over grilled vegetables, fish and meat directly before serving
• For refining salads, carpaccio, bruschetta and other Mediterranean starters
• As a base for your own spice and herb salt blends in professional and home kitchens
