Sicilian Sea Salt - Fior di Sale 200g
These fine salt crystals are known in Italian as Fior di Sale or Primo Fiore which literally means the first flowering of salt. It is the delicate crust of fine crystals that forms a superficial layer over the salt pans of Trapani on the north-west coast of Sicily. The salinari (salt gatherers) use small spades to break the crust and gather the salt crystals by hand.
