The Portuguese counterpart to French Fleur de Sel impresses with a mild salt content, fine minerality and a characteristically crisp texture. A finishing salt that is too good for cooking and unfolds its full aroma the moment it meets the finished dish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin-top: 2em; margin-bottom: 0.8em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrush the Flor de Sal between two fingers and scatter generously over the finished dish, over salad, tomato-mozzarella, grilled steak, fish fillet, carpaccio or prawns. A touch over fresh bread with olive oil turns a simple snack into an experience. It is also valued in patisserie, over dark chocolate, caramel and fine desserts, where it combines sweetness and salt in a unique way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGood to know:\u003c\/strong\u003e always scatter on only after cooking.

Fleur de Sel comes from France, above all Brittany, Flor de Sal from Portugal, such as the Algarve and Estremadura. Very similar in flavour, fine, mild and mineral, with slight regional nuances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use Flor de Sal for cooking too?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nTechnically yes, but it would be wasted.
