Meet our friends and neighbours from Mallorca, Spain: Flor de Sal D'es Trenc.

This luxury metallic gift tin contains 100% natural sea salts, carefully hand-harvested, sun dried and flavoured by Michelin starred chef Marc Fosh.

Flor de Sal D’es Trenc is the purest and most precious of sea salts which is the end result of a unique natural phenomenon, the interaction of the sea, the sun and the wind. Meteorological conditions are required for this aromatic and mineral-rich salt to crystallize upon the water’s surface, a lot of sunshine, a soft breeze and low air moisture. 

Unlike common sea salts, nothing is extracted or added during the entire creation process. It is hand-harvested from the surface of the salt lagoons and is dried under the Mediterranean sun and therefore is a first class natural product. It retains all the aroma of the Mediterranean along with 80 minerals and trace elements; its sodium chloride content – main component of common salt is however, relatively low. When the sun and the wind hit the salt flats, the magnesium contained in the seawater is one of the first minerals to surface. This is why it contains between 16 and 20 times more magnesium than common sea salt. Also double the amount of minerals such as calcium and potassium and even higher amounts of various trace elements. 

This unique mineral composition makes it an ideal ingredient for those concerned with their health; the magnesium acts as a natural flavour enhancer, thus only needing small amounts to flavour the food. This frugal use helps to reduce the intake of sodium chloride, thus fitting in with nutritionists recommendations. 

The high content of herbs and spices, often reaching thirty percent makes the five blends different from any other aromatic salts. As the salt is a completely natural product, it is always slightly moist. The crystals melt in the mouth and turn even the simplest of dishes into culinary delights.
