Les Terres Blanches

Founded in 2018 by Sonia Fanger, Les Terres Blanches® was born from a passion for gastronomy and a desire to celebrate the finest artisanal fleur de sel. The name, inspired by the salt-covered landscapes of traditional marshes, reflects the purity and beauty of this craft. Each salt is harvested by hand using ancestral methods, in close collaboration with passionate salt workers.

The ceramic pots—handcrafted in Portugal and inspired by the ball cactus of Marrakech—add a tactile, emotional dimension to the experience.

What began with the Marrakech fleur de sel, has since evolved into a world-spanning journey. Les Terres Blanches® is more than salt. It is an invitation to savor the artistry of nature, tradition, and design in harmony.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between the two salts in this set? Each comes from a different French salt marsh, Île de Ré on the Atlantic coast and Guérande in Brittany, so they carry distinct textures and subtle flavour differences tied to their specific terroir.

How is fleur de sel harvested? By hand, skimmed from the surface of the salt marsh with a lousse à fleur, a traditional wooden rake, on the right combination of wind and sun. It can only be harvested a limited number of days each season.

Is fleur de sel nutritionally different from table salt because of its magnesium content? Fleur de sel is mostly sodium chloride (roughly 94 to 97%), with the remaining few percent made up of trace magnesium, calcium, and potassium salts combined, not magnesium alone at a large percentage. Its appeal is texture and flavour nuance rather than a meaningful nutritional difference from other salts.

How should I use it? As a finishing salt only, added by hand at the table or just before serving. Heat destroys its crystal texture, so it isn’t meant for cooking.

What comes in the gift set? Two 50g ceramic jars of fleur de sel, one from each origin, each with its own spoon, presented together in a gift box.
