Sea salt production requires patience, meticulous attention to detail and passion - all qualities of our family-owned producer who has been harvesting salt for 40 years.
Fior di sale crystals are notoriously difficult to produce as they rely on a unique set of oceanic and environmental conditions coming together at just the right time.
In August, when the Mediterranean sun is at its strongest, our producer waits for the perfect still conditions when the fior di sale crystals, in their distinctive pyramid shape, bloom like a flower and rise to the surface of the water. These delicate crystals are then quickly, but carefully removed by hand.

FIOR DI SALE
Sicily’s climate is perfect for cultivating lemons - they love the sunny warm days of the Mediterranean coupled with the cooler nights.
Our Sicilian lemon fior di sale is a match made in heaven. We grate the peel of freshly hand-picked lemons and immediately combine it with fior di sale, so the oils from the zest can infuse directly into the salt. 100% natural with nothing else added.
Bring a touch of the Mediterranean summer to your kitchen by using this as a finishing salt for meat, fish, vegetables and salads.
