Dried and sometimes crushed and sifted, our salt remains an authentic, high-quality product. It is unwashed, unrefined, and contains no additives.
Coarse gray salt dries naturally at low temperatures to preserve all its minerals and chemical integrity. After drying, we sift it to make it ready for use in a salt mill or for blending. This specially prepared coarse salt allows you to grind it to your preferred size and incorporate it easily into your mills. You can also use it to create custom herb and spice mixtures, adding natural flavor and texture to your dishes.
On the Guérande peninsula, coarse gray salt forms naturally with a crumbly texture and high mineral content. Its unique flavor comes from this mineral richness and the presence of marine microflora. Grey salt remains unwashed, unrefined, and free of additives. Its natural composition allows it to rehydrate quickly when exposed to moisture.
TRAD Y SEL Guérande coarse gray salt comes from the clay beds of the salt marshes, harvested daily throughout summer. Its natural structure gives it a delicate grey color and porous, crumbly crystals. During harvesting, the concentrated mother waters settle in the grains, locking in macronutrients and trace elements as the salt dries. Because grey salt stays unwashed and unrefined, these valuable minerals remain intact.
Guérande salt absorbs moisture from the air rapidly, making it highly hydrating and enhancing its natural flavor in culinary uses.
