Salt & Spices

Q: What does Fleur de Sel with saffron pair with?

The combination of sea salt crystals and saffron threads is particularly suitable for light fish, seafood, and creamy risottos. The saffron gives a slightly floral-earthy note that lets the salt step into the background — seasoning and refining in one step.

Q: What is Pimentón de la Vera and what do I use it for?

Pimentón de la Vera DO is Spanish paprika powder from Extremadura that is smoked over oak wood — hence the characteristic smoky aroma. The mild variant (dulce) pairs with chorizo, patatas bravas, hummus, or as a finish on roasted vegetables. You can find more Spanish ingredients in the Spain collection.

Between industrial table salt and hand-harvested fleur de sel lies a noticeable difference—in the crystal structure, in how it melts on the tongue, and in how precisely you can season with it.

Fleur de sel in several varieties, smoked salt crystals, black and green pepper, saffron in threads and ground, as well as Pimentón de la Vera DO from Spain.

Frequently asked questions

What distinguishes Fleur de Sel from normal sea salt?

Fleur de Sel is skimmed by hand from the water surface before the crystals sink. The flakes are finer, dissolve more slowly, and give you more control when seasoning — especially as a finishing salt directly on the plate.

What does Fleur de Sel with saffron pair with?

The combination of sea salt crystals and saffron threads is particularly suitable for light fish, seafood, and creamy risottos. The saffron gives a slightly floral-earthy note that lets the salt step into the background — seasoning and refining in one step.

How do I recognize good saffron?

Real saffron threads are dark red with slightly orange tips and smell intensely of honey and hay. Ground saffron loses its aroma faster — buy threads and grind them in a mortar or let them steep in warm water shortly before use.

What is Pimentón de la Vera and what do I use it for?

Pimentón de la Vera DO is Spanish paprika powder from Extremadura that is smoked over oak wood — hence the characteristic smoky aroma. The mild variant (dulce) pairs with chorizo, patatas bravas, hummus, or as a finish on roasted vegetables. You can find more Spanish ingredients in the Spain collection.

How do green and black pepper differ?

Green pepper is harvested unripe and tastes fresher, slightly grassy, and less sharp than black. Black pepper ripens longer and develops more depth and sharpness. Green pepper pairs well with poultry and cream sauces, black with quick-seared meat and strong cheeses.

How do I store salt and spices correctly?

Dry, protected from light, and tightly sealed — this applies to all spices. Fleur de Sel should not be stored in metal containers, as it has a corrosive effect. Saffron threads lose their aroma quickly: best stored in a dark, airtight glass and consumed within twelve months of opening.

Buy salt & spices online – where seasoning begins

Not all salt is the same. Between industrial table salt and hand-harvested fleur de sel, there is a noticeable difference: in the crystal structure, in how it melts on the tongue, and in how precisely you can season with it. The same applies to pepper, saffron and paprika.

Our range

Fleur de sel and sea salt

Harvested by hand from the water's surface, with a fine, flaky structure – intended for seasoning just before serving, not for cooking with. Available from us in several varieties, including organic, flavored with saffron and in refill packs. Plus coarse sea salt and smoked or lemon-flavored salt crystals.

Pepper

Black pepper, a four-color mix and green jungle pepper from organic cultivation, whole – freshly ground, it is a different spice than the pre-ground powder from the shelf.

Saffron and paprika

Saffron in threads and ground for risotto, paella and fish soups, plus Pimentón de la Vera DO – the Spanish paprika smoked over oak wood, without which neither chorizo nor patatas bravas work.

For gifting

Good salt and good pepper are a gift that is well-received and actually used – for example, as a ceramic shaker duo with sea salt and pepper. Combined with a bottle of wine or some olive oil, it makes a present that will delight even those who already have everything.
