Fumee de Sel by Le
Tresor is unlike any smoked sea salt available. Fleur de Sel is cold smoked with
Chardonnay oak chips to preserve the mineral content and natural flavor of the salt. Le
Tresor - Fleur De Sel is smoked from seasoned French oak wine barrels, which for years
have been used in the aging of fine wines. The five to seven year old barrels are hand
selected for wood smoking chips. Starting with salt crystals that are hand raked in France
and ending with the all natural smoking that has to be done in very small batches. This
unique smoked salt is hand made from start to finish. The crystals are smoked to a light
toasty brown and have a deep smoke flavor without being bitter. The moist Fleur de Sel
crystals readily absorb the natural smoked flavors of the oak and chardonnay.
Grey Salt is a
"moist" unrefined sea salt usually found on the coastal areas of France. Its
light grey, almost light purple color comes from the clay found in the salt flats. The
salt is collected by hand using traditional Celtic methods. Grey Salt has gained great
fame in the mainstream culinary world in the last few years and is considered by many to
be the best quality salt available. It is available in coarse, stone ground fine and extra
fine grain.
Australian Murray
River salt crystals are light & delicate peach colored flakes. They have a wonderfully
mild flavor. The texture is ideal for use as a finishing salt. The crystals melt quickly
and evenly making Murray River flake salt ideal for finishing, roasting, and baking. The
Murray River is the greatest of Australia's rivers. The source of its water is the snowy
Australian Alps. Salt is a natural feature in many Australian landscapes. The
Murray-Darling Basin's low rainfall and high evaporation have combined to concentrate salt
in the groundwater. This salt is produced naturally from the underground brines in the
Murray Darling Basin. A red pigment, carotene, is secreted from the salt tolerant algae.
The underground saline waters have been laying dormant for thousands of years. By
utilizing these waters the environment is improved and a beautiful salt is produced.
