FLOR DE SAL BRASIL (SALT)Fleur de Sel

Next is what is considered coarse salt, which does not have iodine and sometimes lacks the anti-caking agents present in table salt. Coarse salt, which includes kosher salt and Sal Marinho Tradicional is commonly used in the cooking process, due to it's coarse nature. Kosher salt, contrary to popular belief, is simply coarse salt (not processed as table salt, and not rock salt, which requires grinding), which has been certified kosher by one of a number of certifying organizations. Chefs prefer this salt for cooking, as it is much easier to control the saltiness of food using coarse salt, and does not require any grinding.

The taste difference between Flor de Sal and lower grades of salt can be compared to the difference between pure, high-grade maple syrup and corn-syrup-based artificial pancake syrups. Most people who have tried maple syrup never want to go back to eating the artificial syrups because the real maple syrup has a subtle and rich flavor, which artificial syrups totally lack. Likewise, Flor de Sal has a rich, creamy, sweet flavor (and melts on your tongue). It also contains trace minerals needed for good health such as magnesium, iron, calcium and potassium.

Necton's Flor de Sal and Sal Marinho Tradicional are some of the finest sea salts in the world. The quality of a sea salt is dependent on both the climate of a region and the level of quality control exercised over the process of harvesting. The best-known French Fleur de Sel hails from Guerande (Brittany), which has a rainy climate. The rainfall in this region stirs up clay at the bottom of the ocean and mixes in with the salt crystals that get raked up during harvesting. This results in discolored (grayer) and less pure salt than that which is harvested from the Algarve region, which has a much sunnier, hotter and less rainy climate, at a third to half of the rainfall during the summer months. The result: brilliantly white sea salt that has all the micronutrients naturally found in ocean water without the discoloration that results from muddied ocean water. Necton, proudly adheres to the quality standards outlined by ', equivalent to certified organic produce, which ensures the highest level of purity in their sea salt.

To put this in perspective, at the bottom of the food salt pyramid (in terms of taste, nutrition and ecological impact) is commercial, iodized table salt, which is known for its harsh, artificial, chemical taste.

Fleur de Sel, known in Portugal as Flor de Sal, is hand-harvested, in the Algarve region of Portugal. During the harvest process, the first layer produces the finest and most mineral-rich crystals, to ultimately be used, not during the cooking process, but to season dishes prior to serving. Flor de Sal is used to greatest effect with simple dishes and foods that will accentuate its unique sweet and creamy flavor. In days gone by, Portuguese salt workers referred to Flor de Sal as "salt cream," as it was (and is still) collected from the salt pan (salina) surface as cream is from the milk). The second (called Gray Salt) and subsequent layers are coarser and less pure in flavor and color. These subsequent layers, however, still produce hand-harvested sea salt, as with our Sal Marinho Tradicional. These salts are superior to processed salts in terms of purity and taste.
