Sea Salt, Grey, Sel Marin de Guerande
The French are still harvesting salt using a artisan method that dates back a thousand years. Salt water is collected from the sea and flows very slowly from shallow pool to shallow pool. During this time, the water slowly evaporates and the saline content of the remaining water becomes more and more concentrated. Once the concentration reaches 250 grams per liter, the salt farmers (paludiers) harvest the salt using a long handled rake that detaches the crystals from the bottom without removing particles of clay. The salt is placed in piles, drained and transported by wheel barrow to a larger platform.

"It is a true saying that a man must eat a peck of salt with his friend before he knows him."

- Miguel de Cervantes, 'Don Quixote'

Unlike refined salts, Guerande salt is not washed, does not undergo any chemical treatment and contains no additives. It is naturally rich in magnesium and a source of calcium, iron and other trace elements. We believe grey salt is an less expensive way of using an excellent sea salt in the cooking process. Sprinkle on meats before grilling or roasting. Try in place of standard salt to improve on the flavor of many dishes.

This salt is produced in Guerande, France.
