Wood smoke first, then the flame of a great spirit: Binet 1660 takes fleur de sel from the salt marshes of Batz-sur-Mer, smokes it over a blend of oak and chestnut wood, then flames it with French XO Cognac. This Smoked & XO Cognac Flamed Fleur de Sel is the most indulgent salt in the collection, complex, smoky, and deeply aromatic. A prestige finishing salt: scatter a pinch over a rib of beef, foie gras, or a dark chocolate tart.
