The Selection
Buying Bali artisanal sea salt online means choosing between four hand-crafted crystal styles — fleur de sel, sea salt flakes, coarse crystals, and fine sea salt — all from seawater harvested in Amed, East Bali.
In short
All four salts begin as concentrated seawater in traditional palm-trunk troughs called palungan, so they share one source and differ only in crystal structure.
Which Salts Can You Buy
Fleur de sel exists only because salt ponds form a thin crystalline film on their surface, which must be hand-harvested. Flakes develop through slow evaporation favouring pyramid growth. Coarse crystals are raked at maturity, and fine salt results from milling coarse crystals.
The surface harvest.
Fine, slightly moist surface crystals for delicate finishing. Skimmed by hand from the top of the pond before the crust sinks.
The audible crunch.
Dry, crisp pyramid shards for crunchy finishing. Grown through slow, shallow crystallisation that favours wide, delicate structures.
The workhorse.
Dense grains for grinding and curing, raked from the pond at maturity. The right salt for brines, crusts, ferments and pasta water.
The base seasoning.
Small, even grains for everyday cooking, milled from coarse crystals. Dissolves evenly, which is exactly what seasoning during cooking requires.
