Literally "the Flower of Salt", it is made from the finest white salt skimmed from the thin surface layer of the salt pans in summer and known as the crème de la crème of French sea salts. When piled up, it blooms, developing a pink tinge and the aroma of violets. It looks like tiny snowflakes and is deeply salty. Use it as a condiment for dipping with raw vegetables or sprinkling on steak and fish.
