“There must be something mysteriously sacred about salt. It is in our tears and in the sea.”
– Khalil Gibran, Lebanese-American poet

Gray Celtic sea salt is extracted by hand in the salt marshes of Guérande (Brittany, France).

The salt is natural, unrefined and mineral-rich (including magnesium, calcium and iron).

Ingredients: 100% sea salt.

It is moist sea salt (about 6 to 7% moist sea salt).

Use

This very mineral-rich Celtic coarse sea salt is a seasoning for many dishes. Delicious as a marinade for fish, for example. Also ideal as a salt water solution as an additional mineral complex. Not suitable for refill in salt mill.

Pure sea salt, without any processing

This moist Celtic sea salt from the French Guérande is the most natural sea salt you can find. It undergoes no processing whatsoever. It is unwashed, unrefined and completely free of additives. This allows Celtic sea salt to retain its complex, full flavour and natural moisture. In short: natural pure sea salt like you won't find anywhere else.

Manual salt extraction according to Celtic tradition

Salt workers in the French Guérande region harvest the sea salt using the same methods as their Celtic ancestors. In the summer, at high tide, the first salt pans, the vasières, are flooded with seawater. In these first basins, the seawater comes to rest and all kinds of plant particles and grains of sand settle. The pure seawater then flows to a second basin for storage and evaporation by the sun. In a third type of salt pan, the œillet, the moist sea salt is then scooped up by hand. It undergoes no further processing.

Natural purification

Before the seawater reaches the salt pans, it flows through a series of brackish clay marshes along the Breton coast. These marshes have a purifying effect. Microbes in the marsh clay neutralise impurities in the seawater.

Natural minerals and lower sodium content

Celtic sea salt combines natural minerals from the sea with minerals from the clay along the salt pans. This results in sea salt with a light grey colour. The interaction of the seawater with the acidic clay also causes the sodium chloride content of the seawater to decrease slightly. As a result, Celtic sea salt contains less sodium than other types of salt. Because it does not undergo any processing, all the healthy nutrients in Celtic sea salt are preserved.

Sel gris is not only suitable for human consumption. Animals also benefit from extra minerals by adding this table salt to feed or drinking water. Or use it as fertilizer for house or garden plants or to mineralize the soil. Sel gris is even used as a toothpaste.

 

Celtic salt is a type of sea salt that originally became popular in France. It has a grayish color and also contains some water (6-7%), making it quite moist.. It offers trace amounts of minerals and contains less sodium than plain table salt.
