Steel City Fleur de Sel — Finishing Salt for Cookies

This is the Fleur de Sel chefs reach for — hand-harvested from the Guérande region of France, where cold seawater is guided into centuries-old salt ponds and left to evaporate. As it dries, delicate crystals rise to the surface and are skimmed by hand. Only this top layer becomes Fleur de Sel — light, airy, and known as one of the finest salts in the world.

This is not everyday salt. It’s the final touch.

Why it belongs on chocolate chip cookies:
A pinch of Fleur de Sel on a warm cookie does more than add salt — it sharpens the sweetness, deepens the chocolate, and adds a soft crunch that makes every bite more balanced. It turns a good cookie into a bakery-level one.

Sprinkle just after baking so it gently melts into the top.

Also excellent on brownies, caramel, or even roasted vegetables.
