I recently bought 5lbs. of this salt after perusing through a thread on Adam Perry Lang. I am a BBQ addict, so if there is something I have not tried, I am all over it.
I eagerly anticipated trying this salt on a few bros at the SOCAL Bash and to my surprise there was a noticable differenece in taste. The taste took some various pieces of ribeys steaks and pork chops to a whole new level.
I am going to incorporate this salt into my catering this season for various primal cuts of beef we cook.
I also and going to be spreading a little on my cutting board at the carving station as suggested by Poohbah in the aforementioned thread.
So, for those of you looking for something wonderful give it a try :thumb:
Fleur de sel ("Flower of salt" in French) is a hand-harvested sea salt collected by workers who scrape only the top layer of salt before it sinks to the bottom of large salt pans. Traditional French fleur de sel is collected off the coast of Brittany (most notably in the towns of Guérande - Fleur de Sel de Guérande, hand harvested from salt marsh water being the most revered), Noirmoutier, and also Camargue. It is an artisanal food product. Due to its relative scarcity, Fleur de sel is one of the more expensive salts.
Fleur de sel is often slightly grey due to the sand collected in the process of harvesting the salt from the pans. On occasion, the presence of Dunaliella salina (a type of pink microalgae commonly found in salt marshes) can give it a light pink tint. It is usually sold in sealed jars.
