Default Fleur de Camargue

I just recieved a kilo gift of this salt.

I have never had this particular one yet, Fleur de sel and grey salts are always in my pantry, has anyone used Camargue? It's supposed to be the best.

Two things i've tested so far with the salt.

I made a passion fruit Creme Brulee in which I added a touch of the salt to the eggs and sugar just before tempering the cream.

The salt really brought out the citrus notes of the fruit and did not effect the texture of the custard at all. Very nice.

Then I washed and patted dry some large stem strawberries, sprinkled them ever so lightly with the salt, and then drizzeled them with 12 year old Balsimico. Drank a 77 Fonseca with the berries. Amazing!

No wonder this salt cost $50 a kilo
