Salt flower - Fleur de Sel in a glass jar 160g

Perfectly pure, full of flavor, and rich in minerals - that's the salt from the salt pans of the Cambodian province of Kampot. The tradition of harvesting sea salt in this region runs as deep as the cultivation of pepper. The conditions here are indeed ideal. Intense sunlight, ocean breezes, and a friendly climate have been inviting the establishment of salt pans and the extraction of salt from the ocean for hundreds of years. In terms of quality, this salt can be compared to sea salt from the most renowned regions in France or Portugal.

The manual, traditional work, which has remained unchanged for hundreds of years, is what obtaining coarse sea salt looks like. It crystallizes on the surface of special pools called salt pans, into which ocean water is channeled and enclosed. Due to the influence of the sun and wind, the water gradually evaporates, leading to the formation of coarse salt crystals on its surface.

The resulting crystals are hand-collected, without any technological intervention, using only long wooden rakes. This process ensures that the salt's structure remains consistent, resulting in perfectly pure and of the highest quality.

The harvesting and processing of sea salt in Kampot are handled by individual small farms, much like with pepper. Families of farmers pass down the tradition of sea salt production from generation to generation. Therefore, the salt is of the highest organic quality, without the need for any subsequent refinement. And just as with pepper, we purchase salt directly from these farmers to ensure they receive fair compensation for their hard work.

When the sun beats down on the salt pans of Kampot, it triggers the blossoming of so-called salt flowers on the surface of the water. These are delicate salt crystals formed through the rapid evaporation of water.

These crystals are so delicate that they can be easily crushed between your fingertips. The fragility of their structure corresponds to the subtlety of their flavor, which is not as pronounced as coarse salt. Nevertheless, the flavor profile is similar, thanks to the presence of 70 different minerals and trace elements that are beneficial for our health.

Thanks to its delicacy and texture, salt flower is primarily used as the finishing touch on prepared dishes. It certainly doesn't belong in a grinder; all you need to do is gently crush it between your fingers and sprinkle the fragile crystals on the surface. They quickly dissolve and enhance the flavor of the dish perfectly. Moreover, if you apply the salt flower just before serving, it creates a wonderfully crystalline effect on both savory and sweet dishes.

We package the salt flower in resealable doypack bags, but the most beautiful option is the 160g glass jar, which is crafted using traditional methods in Czech glassworks. The glass container can perfectly preserve the flavor and structure of the salt flower and will also look fantastic on your kitchen counter, making the salt always at hand.

After emptying, you can upcycle the jars as part of our sustainability efforts and continue to use them in various other ways. Each package also includes a brochure that brings you the story of the world's best pepper and salt and introduces you to the world of .pepper..field.

Quality is our top priority, as confirmed by the awards our salt has received from world competitions. Among the most significant is the star awarded to our salt flower and salt pyramids in the Great Taste 2022 competition, one of the most prestigious gastronomy competitions in the world. Sustainability is also important to us, and we don't just view it as empty words, as evidenced by the SDG's (Sustainable Development Goals) awards given to genuinely sustainable and socially responsible projects.
