FAQ Frequently Asked Questions
Is flake salt the same as regular sea salt?
Flake salt is a completely natural form of sea salt, but it crystallizes into much thinner, crispier, and more delicate flakes (often called Fleur de Sel). This provides a milder and cleaner salt taste, and a significantly better mouthfeel than the large crystals found in coarse sea salt.
Can I use flake salt during the cooking process (e.g., in stews)?
Yes, you certainly can, but since gourmet flake salt is an exclusive ingredient known for its wonderful crispiness, it loses much of its unique characteristic when dissolved in liquid. It is therefore best suited as a "finish" after frying or grilling, sprinkled over the food right before serving.
