Choose the right salt
There are mainly two types of sea salt. Traditional sea salt which falls to the bottom of crystallizers where it is collected and Flor de Sal (salt flower or fleur de sel) a very rare type of traditional sea salt made from the thin layer of crystalls that forms on the water surface of crystallizers. If compared with coarse sea salt is an expensive product once it forms naturally under certain weather conditions, in a limited quantity and needs to be skimmed off by hand, sometimes twice a day, before it precipitates back into the bottom where it becames traditional sea salt.

Flor de Sal

the name Flor de Sal (Salt Flower or Salt Blossom) comes from the flower like patterns of crystals that form in the salt crust
unique and rare
When the perfect conditions come together (sun, heat and wind) the very top layer starts to crystalize forming a delicate layer of crystals on the surface of the ponds, like a curd of fine white crystals that break easily.
The young fragile crystals grow for a few hours only before they are gently skimmed from the brine by artisans called "Marnotos".
