This summer, as you traipse around the country visiting friends and family in less humid climes, it is of course imperative that you bring your best behavior and a fabulous hostess gift. Just such a gift that has quickly become one of our favorites is the very best French finishing salt. Hand-harvested and loaded with minerals, flaky finishing salt adds a briny, flavorful finish to dishes. A pinch goes a long way to boost flavor in everything from savory fish or meat to — our favorite — chocolate and caramel desserts. Locally, we grab a petite container of Le Saunier de Camargue Fleur de Sel at Meyer Provisions (which will last the recipient months on end). Le Saunier de Camargue is harvested by hand at dawn during the summer from the Aigues-Mortes salt marsh in the south of France, where salt has been harvested since the 4th century B.C. instagram.com/meyerprovisions
