As saltwater evaporates in special pools, the first blooms of salt are raked up, which makes this the first salt to dry, giving it a lovely fluffy texture and clean white color. In France, it's called "flower of salt" or “fleur de sel” for the blooms it makes on the water's surface. In Portugal, it's known as "saltcream" because it naturally rises like cream to the top of the water.
The Algarve region of Portugal produces a brilliantly white crystal that is light, crumbly, and delicious. Salt harvesters hand-skim these delicate crystals formed at the top of the pan daily, using the same wooden implements used for millennia. This gentle, manual harvest preserves the delicate salt’s unique texture and character.
Unlike industrially processed salt, this salt is rich in mineral content. This exquisite flaky salt is ideal as a finishing salt to enhance dishes.
This is wet sea salt that is not intended to be put in a regular salt grinder. It is usually used as-is since the grain size is minuscule.

I like the flavor of this salt, but it has limited use's because of the flavor and the moisture in my humble opinion.
I've started using portuguese sea salt everywhere I need regular salt. It just tastes better. I don't know how else to describe the taste- it's vibrant
Flat packs are perfect for my limited kitchen storage!
I really like this salt…it’s very flavorful and I use it on everything. However I still like the Sel de Provence the best and don’t understand why you discontinued it.
Many feel salt is salt… WRONG! This salt is so delicious. I use the Black Lava, Red Alaea and Pink Himalayan as my go to. The unique taste of the Portuguese, I like it on chicken, garlic cheese bread and much more… must have in my kitchen!
