Below, you’ll find easy ways to use our signature table salt seasonings to bring restaurant-quality flavor to your home kitchen.
Fleur de Sel — The Finishing Salt for Perfectionists
Best for: Roasted vegetables, grilled meats, chocolate desserts, salads
Harvested from pristine coastal waters, Ocean-Root Fleur de Sel Sea Salt is prized for its delicate crystals and naturally moist texture.
Unlike regular table salt, Fleur de Sel enhances flavor without overpowering it, adding a gentle crunch and trace minerals that highlight your ingredients.
How to Use:
-
Sprinkle a pinch over seared steak or roasted vegetables just before serving.
-
Add a touch on top of caramel brownies or dark chocolate mousse for a balanced sweet-salty contrast.
-
Stir into olive oil for a quick gourmet bread dip.
Pro Tip: Fleur de Sel melts slowly, so it’s perfect as a finishing salt — never cook it into your dishes.
French Blend — Herbes de Provence in Every Pinch
Best for: Roasted chicken, soups, stews, potatoes, and grilled fish

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Fleur de Sel different from regular salt?
Fleur de Sel is hand-harvested from the surface of salt ponds, retaining natural moisture and minerals that give it a delicate texture and balanced salinity.
Can I use these blends while cooking or just as finishing salts?
You can do both! Use Curry Blend and Italian Blend during cooking for full flavor infusion, and Fleur de Sel or French Blend as finishing touches to preserve their aroma.
Are Ocean-Root sea salts natural?
Yes, all Ocean-Root sea salt blends are naturally harvested and free from artificial additives or anti-caking agents.
