Madagascar's Fleur de Sel, a Delicate Jewel from the Salt Marshes of Ifaty

In Ifaty, in the southwest of Madagascar, are the salt marshes that give this flavorful salt. The seawater contained in these clay basins evaporates under the joint action of wind and sun. The result is this Fleur de Sel that is not gathered with a rake, but carefully hand-picked. This is how its light and airy texture can be preserved without breaking it.

Seaweed with Japanese Inspirations

The seaweeds that make up this blend are dulse, wakame, sea lettuce, and nori seaweed. These marine algae belong to the Palmariaceae family and mainly grow in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

These seaweeds grow below the sea level, so to harvest them, you have to wait for mid-tide, and their harvest is only allowed from April 1st to December 31st to avoid disturbing their natural renewal.

Where Does the Grilled Spice Fleur de Sel Come From?

Production of Flavored Fleur de Sel: From Madagascar to Touraine

It all starts in the salt marshes of Ifaty, a little piece of paradise on Earth in the southwest of Madagascar. These marshes with lagoon-like appearances are the territory of semi-nomadic fishermen, the Vezo people. As their fishing activity dwindles, they turn to Fleur de Sel production. They perform meticulous and artisanal work to harvest this precious commodity.

It then arrives in Touraine, in the center of France, where it meets the grilled spices. It is in our workshop that they are toasted and roasted. Then, they are sorted in small batches, thus guaranteeing the freshness of the blends.
