Bulk 5kg Foodservice
Bali Fleur de Sel Bulk 5kg Foodservice Pack
Five kilograms represents roughly fifteen thousand finishing pinches, which is why this format is quoted per order and shipped on a schedule rather than sold off a shelf.

Sheet ships with every orderIn short
At a working average of one-third of a gram per finishing pinch, a 5kg pack covers on the order of fifteen thousand plate finishes before reorder.
- /01 The salt inside is identical to what fills our retail jars: skimmed by hand from the surface of East Bali's coastal evaporation beds, drained, sorted, and packed without additives, milling, or heat drying.
- /02 A resort restaurant finishing one hundred covers nightly uses approximately 33 grams per service, so a single 5kg pack is sufficient for roughly five months of nightly service.
- /03 A banqueting operation salting five hundred dessert plates for one gala uses under 200 grams.
- /04 Fleur de sel is a garnish-scale cost with signature-dish visibility; the per-plate cost is trivial next to protein and labour.

Which Operations Choose The 5kg Format
Five Recurring Profiles
The 5kg pack was sized for buyers whose usage patterns make smaller formats administratively inconvenient.
Catering and banqueting operations
With event-driven spikes in usage.
Restaurant groups
Supplying several sites from one procurement relationship.
Distributors and food-trade companies
Repacking or reselling into their own markets.
Food producers
Using fleur de sel as a named ingredient in chocolates, caramels, baked goods, and cured products.
Single independent restaurants usually sit better with the 1kg chef pack, which keeps stock fresh-moving without dedicating dry-store space.
The only enemy of fleur de sel in a professional environment is steam, since the crystals' natural residual moisture will absorb more from humid air and clump.
Ordering, Lead Times & Resupply
How A Foodservice Order Actually Runs
Because fleur de sel is a weather-dependent harvest skimmed only on dry, sunny days, 5kg orders are confirmed against actual harvest stock rather than promised from an infinite warehouse.
-
Send your usage and destination
Property or company name, estimated monthly usage, and delivery destination.
-
We confirm before you pay
We confirm current availability, a realistic packing date, and the delivered timeline before payment.
-
Packing and dispatch
For Bali and Indonesian properties, delivery is straightforward. International foodservice orders ship by tracked courier or freight depending on volume.
-
Scheduled resupply
Properties using the salt continuously establish a resupply rhythm sized to their usage, with reminders as each window approaches, so the dry store never runs empty during harvest lulls.
Distributors repacking into their own retail formats should note that the crystals are fragile by design; gentle handling and non-mechanical filling preserve the surface-crystal structure that customers pay for.

FAQ
FAQ: The 5kg Foodservice Pack
Is the 5kg salt a different grade from the retail jars?
No. Every format we sell is packed from the same hand-skimmed harvest lots; there is no hidden bulk grade of broken crystals or pond-floor salt behind the foodservice label. What varies between lots is only the natural signature of a weather-driven harvest, such as slight differences in crystal size and moisture, flagged on batch confirmation.
What is the realistic lead time on a 5kg order?
It depends on harvest stock and your destination, which is why we confirm both before you pay rather than advertising a universal promise. Domestic Indonesian deliveries are typically quick once packed; international shipments add courier or freight transit and customs clearance. Properties on scheduled resupply avoid lead-time pressure entirely.
Can distributors repack the 5kg format under their own brand?
Repacking for resale moves the conversation into private-label and trade territory, handled through the wholesale programme. The short answer is that we work with distributors gladly, and we would rather structure it properly than have the harvest resold anonymously.
How should procurement teams document this product?
Request the current product specification sheet when enquiring; it covers origin, harvest method, handling, and packing details in the format hotel procurement systems expect from a supplier record. Because the product is a single-ingredient mineral food with no additives, allergen documentation is short.
Does fleur de sel survive long storage in a tropical dry store?
Yes, indefinitely, provided the packaging stays sealed against humidity. Salt is a stable mineral that cannot spoil, so shelf life is not the concern; texture is. Keep the bulk pack closed, decant working amounts in small quantities, and store away from steam lines and dish areas.
