Two winds meet here, then the slow smoke of beech wood. Binet 1660 blends West Wind and East Wind fleur de sel from the salt marshes of Batz-sur-Mer, cold-smokes them through a fully artisanal, lengthy process, and produces this Smoked Fleur de Sel in small batches. The result is a crunchy finishing salt with a deep, penetrating smokiness. A pinch over a grilled steak, grilled corn, or salmon, just before serving.

Toss with 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tsp sweet paprika, then spread on a baking sheet.
Roast at 400°F (200°C) for 30 to 35 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until crunchy.
While still hot, toss with a generous pinch of the smoked fleur de sel and serve as an aperitif snack.
