"Demi-sel" means slightly salted.

In French, "demi-sel" ([d(ə)misɛl ]) is an invariable adjective that describes something as being "slightly salted." A common example is du beurre demi-sel, which translates to slightly salted butter. This indicates the butter has been salted, but not as heavily as fully salted butter.
