Ceramic pot with wooden spoon
Smoked salt from Greece brings together the richness of Mediterranean culinary traditions and distinctive craftsmanship. Made from sea salt harvested in the salt marshes of the Aegean Sea, it is then smoked using time-honoured techniques that give it an intense, refined flavour.
Like fleur de sel, add it as a finishing touch, just before serving: the heat of cooking would diminish its crunch and aroma.
Storage
Keep the pot tightly closed, away from moisture and heat, to preserve its full aroma.

The farmers of the sea
A craft, not a production line
Becoming a salt harvester is, above all, a labour of love, passed down from generation to generation. The weather and harvesting technique matter as much as they do for a fine wine.
We have chosen artisans who remain fascinated by nature and know how to understand and cultivate both sea and land. Their harvest is of such quality that, once the salt is gathered, nothing more is needed.
Your questions, our answers
What is the difference between fleur de sel and table salt?
Fleur de sel is the fine layer of crystals that forms on the surface of salt marshes; it is harvested by hand. Richer in minerals, its crystals are gentler and its flavour far less harsh than ordinary salt: they crunch between the teeth before melting on the tongue.
When should I add it to a dish?
Always at the last moment, just before serving. During cooking, the crystals melt and lose their crunch — the very quality that makes them special.
Why does the flavour vary from one place of origin to another?
Because sunshine, wind and the nature of the salt pans directly affect the crystals. Fleur de sel from Guérande has a delicate violet aroma; mountain fleur de sel, harvested from underground salt springs, has a more mineral character.
Is the pot reusable?
Yes. The ceramic pot is handcrafted in Portugal and has a cork stopper. It is designed to stay on the table and be refilled.
Do you deliver outside France?
Yes, throughout Europe, within 3 to 6 working days. For destinations outside Europe or orders over 10 kg, please write to us at sales@les-terres-blanches.fr.
