Trader Jacques’ Fleur de Sel Caramel Sauce – French Sea Salt Caramel, Gluten-Free, 10 oz (284g)

The caramel sauce that makes everything taste like a restaurant dessert. Trader Jacques’ Fleur de Sel Caramel Sauce is a rich, buttery, velvety caramel elevated with hand-harvested French sea salt — the same fleur de sel used by Michelin-starred pastry chefs. Made with real cream, butter, and pure vanilla extract, this gluten-free sauce delivers a sophisticated sweet-salty balance that transforms ice cream, lattes, waffles, and baked goods into something truly special.

What Makes This Caramel Sauce Stand Out

• Authentic fleur de sel — hand-harvested French sea salt with delicate mineral notes that perfectly balance the rich caramel sweetness
• Real cream & butter — genuine dairy ingredients for a rich, velvety texture and indulgent, restaurant-quality flavor

• Gluten-free — safe for gluten-sensitive diets without any compromise on taste or texture
• No artificial flavors or preservatives — clean ingredient list you can feel good about
• Pourable consistency — smooth and velvety straight from the jar, no heating required

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is fleur de sel?
A: Fleur de sel (“flower of salt” in French) is a premium hand-harvested sea salt collected from the surface of salt ponds in France. It has a delicate, mineral-rich flavor and a light, flaky texture — prized by chefs worldwide as a finishing salt that enhances both sweet and savory dishes.

Q: Can I use this caramel sauce in coffee?
A: Absolutely — it dissolves beautifully into hot lattes, cappuccinos, and hot cocoa. For iced drinks, warm the sauce slightly first for easier mixing.

Q: What is the difference between salted caramel sauce and regular caramel sauce?
