Fleur de sel (Flower of salt known in Greece as "Afrina") from the lagoon of Mesolonghi is the sea salt gathered by hand from the very top of the salt pit, before it is sunk and crystallized in the lower levels of the salt pit. It preserves a significant percentage of humidity as it has not been treated chemically and contains micronutrients necessary to the human body, so it is highly recommended to buy and consume. The fleur de sel dissolves faster than common sea salt, so it is better to be added in foods just before they are served. The fleur de sel is absolutely pure and natural "Afrina" is born on the surface of the Mesolonghi lagoon and the precious salt flakes are picked by hand. An exeptional fleur de sel, white, soft and light, that preserves its natural moisture. 100% Greek product.
