Harvesting Flos Salis

Why it´s Hand-harvested
Manual harvesting and natural evaporation mean more than just a nostalgic attitude of keeping up a millennial tradition: first, this method minimizes the impurity content to guarantee a naturally white flower of seasalt. Secondly, this keeps the naturally grown crystals intact, resulting in a fine, flaky salt that crumbles between the fingers.

Why it Tastes Different
Real Flor de Sal comes from small traditional crystallizer ponds, and so does Flos Salis. There, the crystallization starts at the surface, forming within only some hours a thin layer that floats on the brine. The little lamellous crystals do not undergo any refining procedures after harvest, maintaining sea water´s natural »bouquet« of minerals. Compared to common seasalt qualities, this results in a striking difference in taste.

Why it´s Healthy
Organic live began in the oceans. Today, the mineral composition in human blood and extracellular liquid is similar to that in sea water. Flor de Sal keeps this composition of over 80 different elements, contributing to a healthy nutrition. Free from any additives, it relies on sun, wind and the sea. That's it.
