However, salt is becoming more important in the culinary world as more people discover the amazing variety of tastes, colours and textures available. We carry standard sea salt and kosher salt, but our exotic artisanal salts from France and Hawaii will forever change the way you think about this humble ingredient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSalt is simply a mineral composed of chlorine and sodium. All salt is the by-product of evaporation, either in salt mines or in the sea. The colour and texture of salt depend on the type of salt deposit and the way the crystals are processed during evaporation. Salts can also have varying levels of other minerals, which are naturally present in the deposits. Different textures can lead to different levels of “saltiness” and will affect the flavour and consistency of your food. Different colours add visual impact to a dish.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2018-03-24T06:47:36-06:00","sort_order":"alpha-asc","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"type","relation":"equals","condition":"Salts"},{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"Salts"}],"published_scope":"global","image":{"created_at":"2018-03-26T14:21:52-06:00","alt":"","width":1600,"height":1600,"src":"\/\/silkroadspices.ca\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/Specialty_Salts_collection.jpg?v=1522095712"}}]

This is considered by most chefs to be the finest of all salts. Fleur de sel is a true artisan salt, consisting of only the delicate top crystals of sea salt which are hand-harvested from evaporation ponds under specific weather conditions by traditional "paludiers" (salt farmers) off the coast of Brittany in France. This salt has a grey hue due to the high level of naturally-occurring minerals. It is considered to be the purest of all salts.
Fleur de sel dissolves more quickly than regular sea salt due to the tiny crystals. It is used mainly as a finishing salt, and is sprinkled over a dish just before serving.
