It takes an east wind for it to appear. Only then, in the historic salt marshes of Batz-sur-Mer, in Brittany, does Binet 1660 harvest this East Wind fleur de sel, so light a breath could scatter it, and airier than the West Wind cuvée. Hand-sorted and naturally aged, it strikes a delicate balance between power and lightness, the mark of an exceptional finishing salt. Add a few crystals just before serving, over scallops, sliced tomatoes, or a soft-boiled egg.
