At the end of each day, the finest layer of crystals is skimmed by hand from the surface of the water: that is fleur de sel. The Fleur de Sel Île de Ré from Les Terres Blanches is harvested this way by dedicated salt farmers in the salt marshes of Île de Ré, one of France’s celebrated salt-making regions on the Atlantic coast; it is delicate, pure, and subtly mineral. Scatter it over oysters or scallops, or offer a jar, since it also makes a graceful gift.
