- Origin
Delicate, light flakes of Spanish sea salt meet the aromatic freshness of lemon and orange. Their fine, gently crisp pyramidal crystals melt gradually in the mouth, releasing a subtle salinity lifted by fresh, fruity citrus notes.
A bright, refined Mediterranean creation in which the freshness of lemon is balanced by the softer, more indulgent notes of orange. A finishing salt as appealing for its texture as for its aroma, bringing out the best in both savoury and sweet creations.
Ingredients: sea salt (min. 96 %), dehydrated orange (max. 3 %), dehydrated lemon (max. 1 %).
50 g jar, supplied with a wooden spoon.
Sprinkle on as a finishing touch just before serving to preserve the flakes’ full texture and the citrus fruit’s aromatic intensity. It pairs beautifully with salads, grilled or roasted vegetables, white meats and fish, and also brings a fresh, distinctive note to sauces.
For sweet dishes, a few flakes create a delicious contrast with chocolate, salted caramel, cookies or brownies, subtly combining sweetness, citrus freshness and delicate salinity.
Under the Alicante sun, salt flakes form gently on the surface of the Santa Pola salt pans. Harvested by hand at the perfect point in their crystallisation, they retain all the delicacy, purity and gentle crunch of their precious pyramidal crystals.
They are then combined with dehydrated orange and lemon, lending fresh, fruity and intensely aromatic notes. A distinctly Mediterranean pairing, where the mineral character of sea salt meets the freshness of citrus fruit.
Storage

The farmers of the sea
A craft, not a production line
Being a salt maker is, above all, a vocation 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, who understand and tend both sea and land. Their harvest is of such quality that, once the salt has been 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 by origin?
Because sunshine, wind and the nature of the salt pans directly affect the crystals. Fleur de sel from Guérande has a faint violet aroma; mountain fleur de sel, harvested from saline underground springs, has a more mineral character.
Is the jar reusable?
Yes. It is made from handcrafted ceramic in Portugal, with a cork stopper. Designed to sit on the table, it can also 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.
