Fleur de sel, or “flower of salt,” is the delicate, hand-harvested sea salt that chefs use to finish dishes. Unlike regular table salt, it’s prized for its light crunch and subtle flavor.
A sprinkle of fleur de sel can elevate a dark chocolate tart, caramel sauce, or even a simple butter cookie. It’s all about contrast — the salt enhances the sweetness and complexity of your dessert.
Keep it for special occasions and add it right before serving for maximum impact.
