Our Rubbo Salt is made with only the finest ingredients: hand-harvested Fleur de Sel de Guérande, the crème de la crème of salts from the northwestern coast of France, and the finest of organic herbs. At the salt marshes, the salt is skillfully and slowly raked, one half inch at a time to collect a mound of exquisite crystals - fleur de sel - and they harvest maybe two pounds a day. This salt is touched only by the sun and the raker. The salt marshes of Guérande are from antiquity, and when we visited Guérande in 2011, we found the perfect combination of sun, wind, and lowland marshes, and evaporation intensifies the flavors of the nutrient-rich and trace-mineral-rich waters of the Bay of Biscay. Fleur de Sel de Guérande is revered by connoisseurs of good food as the highest culinary salt in the world. 

Fleur de Sel ("flower of the sea") forms as a thin, delicate crystalline crust on the surface of France's coastal seawater marshes as it evaporates, forming the flower-like patterns of crystals in the salt crust. ​
