What goes with Fleur de Sel?
Fleur de sel is a moist finishing sea salt made of irregular, delicate crystals. Its practical character comes chiefly from crystal size, shape and the way salt is delivered across a bite. This profile uses plain crystals without herbs or smoke. It adds sharp salinity and a brief crunch, with no fat, acidity or meaningful sweetness.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Fleur de Sel?
Use fleur de sel where a bite benefits from contrast between a lightly seasoned interior and a few distinct crystals. Chocolate, nuts, bread and juicy vegetables offer different versions of that contrast. Keep already salty foods under control by reducing salt elsewhere; a finishing layer works only when the full mouthful remains balanced.
