Natural unrefined salt is a unique choice with authentic flavor and nutritional value. This salt is obtained from the sun-drying of seawater, specifically from the fleur de sel of Messolonghi, which is internationally known as fleur de sel.

Its collection is traditionally done by hand by specialized workers using wooden tools. It is the purest form of salt, containing 92 essential minerals, in contrast to processed table salts that contain very few.

The fleur de sel has a distinct flavor and texture, melting in the mouth and being an ideal choice for salads, raw foods, and finishing dishes. It is also used in pastry, as it has a sweeter taste compared to common salts.

• You can add a pinch of salt to fruits or un-cooked foods to aid digestion.
• In case of excessive saltiness, gather the dish and add mild or fatty ingredients.
• Adding salt to drinking water makes the water alkaline and provides valuable minerals and trace elements.

The fleur de sel of Messolonghi is not just a gastronomic product, but also part of the cultural heritage of the area.
