Many people think salt is salt. But I have tried a bunch of kinds, and Fleur de Sel is my favorite. I have converted people just by putting a pinch on their food. I recently got this one, and it is great. A real Fleur de Sel should be moist, and this one is. I DON'T use this for cooking, I like it best at the end. It's like adding a touch if fine flavor. Plus, one can have the amount of salt preferred this way.
