Camargue Salt is a product of culinary excellence, prized by the world’s top chefs.
This product is known as “the salt caviar” because of its high quality. It is a product of excellence in gastronomy, French and beyond.
The Camargue is renowned for its lagoons where the high concentration of salt causes the water to be tinged an extraordinarily deep pink. In particular, in the hamlet of Salin de Giraud and in Aigues Mortes, at the mouth of the Grand Rhône, salt marshes can be seen, from which the Fleur de Sel de Camargue (salt flower) is derived. This salt is harvested by hand by skilled artisans, the sauniers. The harvesting and exploitation of salt is an ancient economic activity.
This food is referred to as “the caviar of salt” and is both a prized product, prized by top chefs around the world, and comes in the form of small crystals.
Used in gastronomy, it is also used for beauty treatments.
