Fleur de sel, meaning the flower of salt in English, is a premium salt from France. It can only be collected under certain locations, times, and when it is very sunny, dry, and with slow, steady winds. On average, a salt worker can collect 60 tons of salt per year, but only 10-12 tons of Fleur de sel.

The King of Beard uses Fleur de sel from an island named Île de Ré, located in western France. The island has the perfect weather and tidal range that will bring in seawater to the salt marsh basins. The salt formation depends entirely on the weather conditions as they still use age-old techniques so the harvest season usually only lasts from June to October and can only be harvested by hand due to the delicacy of the Fleur de sel.

Fleur de sel is extremely light so it floats on the surface of the water, forming a delicate crust of intricate pyramidal crystals. It has a special scent like violet and a more complex flavor as it is unrefined compared to common salt. Due to the nature of its formation, the production costs are high and the quantity is limited. Hence, Fleur de sel is the most expensive of salts.

Among all the imported butter, those that are approved by AOP(Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée – Protected Designation of Origin), an official European label, are considered the best in quality. Brands that are known as AOP butter are ÉCHIRÉ, Isigny, and Lescure.

AOP label guarantees to the consumer that the various stages of manufacturing have all occurred in the area concerned by the designation and the butter manufacturing only uses the best quality of milk from dairy cattle of age 3-8.

It is famous across Europe and also praised by the Institut International Joël Robuchon.
