Data points for a quoteWritten
Quote is the binding numberIn short
All figures below are indicative planning ranges: hand-harvested salt is a seasonal agricultural product, so final pricing is confirmed on your written quote based on current harvest availability, pack format, and delivery destination.
- /01 Hand-skimming is the single biggest cost driver — each kilogram represents hours of manual work in the palungan troughs of Amed.
- /02 Pack format matters, because filling and labelling 100g jars costs more per kilogram than lining a 5kg foodservice bag.
- /03 Volume matters, because larger orders spread sorting and packing overheads.
- /04 Destination matters, because freight, duties, and insurance differ between a domestic Indonesian delivery and a door-to-door shipment to Europe or North America.
Retail Price Guide
Jars, Pouches and Gift Formats
A finishing pinch of fleur de sel weighs roughly half a gram to one gram, which means even a 100g jar covers months of regular home use and makes small formats better value than their size suggests.

Bulk and Foodservice Price Guide
Bulk and Foodservice Price Guide
Professional kitchens typically move from jars to bulk packs once monthly usage passes about one kilogram, because cost per kilogram drops significantly at each volume tier.
| Format | Typical buyer | Indicative range (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 kg chef pack | Restaurants, private chefs | 55–80 |
| 5 kg foodservice pack | Hotels, resorts, caterers | 230–340 |
| 10–25 kg lined cartons | Distributors, repackers | Quoted per order |
| Pallet and container lots | Importers, wholesale programmes | Contract pricing |
Foodservice buyers ordering the 5kg pack on a recurring schedule qualify for standing-order terms, which lock a confirmed price for an agreed supply period rather than repricing every shipment.
What Moves The Price
What Makes the Price Move Up or Down
Harvest season
The East Bali dry season, roughly April through October, is peak harvest, and salt collected in this window is most abundant, which generally keeps quotations at the lower end of their ranges. Outside those months, slower evaporation reduces daily yields and can firm prices.
Currency
Export quotes are issued in US dollars while farm costs run in Indonesian rupiah.
Freight market cycles
Rates move with the major sea lanes, which is why we quote delivered rather than teasing an ex-works number.
Crystal grade
The finest, whitest surface crystals command a premium over standard harvest lots. When you request a quote we state which grade and harvest window your price reflects.
Retail vs bulk: where the crossover sits
Under 500g per month: stay with 100g or 250g retail formats for freshness and easy storage. 1–3kg per month: the 1kg chef pack offers the best balance of price and turnover. Above 5kg per month: move to foodservice packs or a wholesale agreement. Reselling or repacking: contract pricing through the wholesale programme is the correct entry point.
Because fleur de sel is hygroscopic and holds natural residual moisture, buying more than a year of stock at once is rarely worthwhile for a small kitchen; matched buying beats bulk hoarding.
Requesting A Quote
How Do You Request a Formal Quote?
A complete quotation request needs only four data points.
-
Product and grade
Which salt, and which crystal grade if you have a preference.
-
Pack format
Jar, pouch, chef pack, foodservice unit, lined carton or pallet.
-
Total quantity
Per order, and per year if you are planning a schedule.
-
Delivery destination
The country and, for freight, the receiving port or warehouse.
With those in hand we return a written quote covering unit price, packing specification, lead time from the current harvest, and delivery terms — a simple courier rate for retail parcels, or Incoterms-based pricing for export consignments. Quotes are valid for a stated window so you can compare suppliers without price drift mid-decision.
FAQ
FAQ: Pricing
Why is fleur de sel more expensive than regular sea salt?
Fleur de sel forms only as a thin surface layer on evaporating seawater and must be skimmed by hand before it sinks, so each harvest yields a small fraction of what the same pond produces in standard sea salt. That labour-intensive, low-yield harvest is the structural reason fleur de sel carries a premium over machine-harvested or boiled salts everywhere in the world.
Are the prices on this page final?
No. All figures here are indicative planning ranges intended for comparison between formats. Final prices are confirmed in a written quotation that reflects current harvest availability, your chosen grade, order volume, and delivery destination. The quotation you receive is the binding number, and it remains valid for the stated period so you can decide without pressure.
Do prices include international shipping?
Indicative ranges on this page exclude shipping. Retail parcels are quoted with courier rates to your address at checkout or by message. Bulk and wholesale orders are quoted under standard Incoterms, so you can choose FOB pricing and arrange your own freight, or ask for CIF or DDP terms that build sea or air freight into a single landed cost.
Is there a discount for recurring orders?
Yes. Standing orders on an agreed schedule receive locked pricing for the supply period plus priority allocation from each harvest, which matters most during the wet season when daily yields fall. Restaurants, hotels, and retailers on recurring terms also skip requoting on every shipment, which shortens reorder lead time considerably compared with one-off purchasing.
