The Fleur de sel of the Algarve is called in Portugal the “sun cream”, and represents a very precious salt, known since the ancient Romans. It has recently been rediscovered by chefs around the world. It shows a crunchy texture, a mild flavor and an ivory white color. Very rich in magnesium and potassium, and goes well with any type of dish.
A salt much appreciated by those who know it: once you try it you can't do without it. Smoked flavor suitable for grilled meat dishes or to be used to prepare a nice carbonara. Being a particularly strong salt, with paprika, it must be measured sparingly.
The plantations of this tea are located in the highlands of Kaproret, Saramek and Chemase in the Kericho district. Due to their striking golden leaf tips, strong and slightly floral flavor, these are often mistaken for Chinese Yunnan teas.
