Boulettes Larder: Salts and Salt Blends

SALTS & SALT BLENDS:

All salt has its origin in the sea, whether it is taken directly from the sea or from deposits created millions of years ago by the oceans and salty streams that once flowed through caves and rocks. In its natural state, salt contains a wealth of trace minerals in addition to sodium chloride. Salt (along with potassium) is one of the major electrolytes needed for every cellular function. Unfortunately, most salt today is stripped of trace minerals and is highly refined. The good news: choosing and using a traditionally made or minimally refined sea salt can have a profound effect on the flavor and nutritional value of our food. The sea salts boulettes larder carries have nothing added and nothing removed, just the way nature intended.

Salts and salt blends are sold by weight, with a 2 oz. minimum. Prices below are for 2 oz. You are welcome to order more than 2 oz.

The minimum total for all mail order items is $25.

SALTS


fleur de sel (from France) This hand-raked and harvested salt has a long and rich history in French cooking. It is often called a finishing salt because it should be added at the very end of cooking to preserve its sweet, delicate flavor. Only 1 lb of fleur de sel is harvested for every 80 lbs of sel gris. If you need to have the very best, this is the salt for you.

sel de guerrande/celtic salt This remarkable Le Paludier sea salt is harvested using age-old means. It comes from the salt marshes of South Brittany - Guerrande. This fleur de sel (flower of salt) is the only one of its kind to have received the esteemed honor of "Label Rouge" in France. It is 100% natural with no additives and it is lower in sodium than regular salt. It derives its flavor from the sea and its slight ivory color from the clay present in the area where it is harvested. For harvesting, sea water is drawn into an area lined with clay. The sun and wind help evaporate the water and the layers of salt are raked away. Le Paludier grey Celtic sea salt is not harvested by machine but by "paludiers" - traditional Celtic sea harvesters - who hand-harvest the salt. The word "Celtic" refers to the ancient traditional sea salt harvesting methods developed by the ancient Celtic "paludiers".	8.00 / 2oz.
