Mineral fleur de sel from the Algarve forms the core. Hand-harvested crystals from the Ria Formosa salt pans carry a naturally delicate crunch and dissolve clean on warm dairy. Chives add gentle allium lift. Nettle brings a deep green note. Built as a finishing salt for cheeses and cultured butter.
Perfect on chèvre, ricotta, burrata, and salted butter. Fold into softened butter for a vivid chive-green compound. Works on cheese boards, grilled cheese, omelets, and sourdough. Ingredient integrity: Fleur de Sel Algarve, dried chives, organic nettle leaf.
Sourcing notes: Algarve flor de sal is traditionally hand-skimmed in Ria Formosa and Tavira. Chives and nettle are classic European herbs with clean, aromatic character.

Inspired By
Cornish Yarg
This composition is inspired by Cornish Yarg, the celebrated English cheese wrapped in nettle leaves. As the rind matures, nettles infuse the cheese with herbal freshness and a gentle earthiness. Our blend follows that tradition: delicate fleur de sel from the Algarve carrying the mineral sea, joined by chives for bright allium lift and nettle for green depth.

FLEUR DE SEL (ALGARVE)
Hand-harvested from the Atlantic coast of southern Portugal, this fleur de sel forms only under perfect sun and wind. Its delicate white crystals carry a soft crunch and a clean marine minerality. Revered by chefs, it is considered one of the purest expressions of salt.
CHIVES + NETTLE
Chives bring a gentle allium brightness, while nettle adds deep green herbal depth. Together they create a fresh, savory lift that pairs seamlessly with dairy. Balanced against the mineral delicacy of fleur de sel, this blend was crafted to complement cheeses, cultured butters, and other creamy textures.
You might be wondering
Can SEL FROMAGE be used beyond cheese and butter?
Yes. While designed for dairy, it also works beautifully on baked potatoes, eggs, fresh greens, and savory pastries.
Does nettle change the flavor strongly?
Nettle provides a subtle herbal depth. It is not overpowering but adds a green, earthy layer that enhances creamy textures.
How fine are the salt crystals?
Fleur de Sel has naturally delicate, irregular flakes that dissolve gently, making it ideal for finishing without overpowering.
Is SEL FROMAGE suitable for vegetarians?
Absolutely. The blend is fully plant-based and contains only natural botanicals and sea salt.
