Fleur de sel, salt flakes, and sea salt from Isla Cristina, Huelva
Salt is the most widely used seasoning in the world; it is also necessary for the human body and essential in cooking.
In ancient times, it was so valued that payment was made with salt, the Roman "salarium." We visited the salt flats of Isla Cristina, in the province of Huelva, known as the "German's salt flats."
From these salt flats, fleur de sel, flakes, and virgin sea salt are extracted, all naturally.
Fleur de sel contains all the bio-elements of seawater (fluorine, magnesium, calcium, sodium, etc.). It is also sold mixed with many spices.
Flakes, on the other hand, are slightly saltier and have a firmer texture, ideal for grilled meats and fish.
