Barrique Chardonnay Smoked Finishing Salt

To make this oak-smoked sea salt from France, Fleur de Sel produced by ancient Celtic methods from France's Atlantic shore on the Brittany coast is harvested and dried in the open air. The Fleur de Sel, which has long been held as the most-esteemed salt of European fine dining, is then cold smoked with oak chips made from French Oak wine casks (called barrique) that have completed their five to seven year task of aging fine Chardonnay.

The resulting finishing salt is a rich, complex flavor combination of mineral-rich French sea salt, seasoned French oak, aged Chardonnay, and tantalizing accents of tart wine vinegar and complex sugars. These toasty golden grains are a superb compliment to all meat, seafood, pastas, potatoes, and anything you put on your table for breakfast.
