Description
Some of our Wholesale Salts can only been found in one place, usually formed along time ago and for us to use today
However some salts are formed by the climate, as sea water washed up in shallow patches and then dried by the sun it leaves behind crystals of salt
As the sea water evapourates the salt is formed like flower petals, hence the term Fleur de Sel - Flowers of Salt
