Fine Celtic Sea Salt, Sel Gris from Guérande, France

Traditional French sea salt, hand-harvested, unrefined and naturally mineral-rich.

Not all salt is the same.

Our Fine Celtic Sea Salt is traditional Sel Gris, harvested from the salt marshes of Guérande, France, using methods that have been practised for generations.

Unlike highly refined white table salt, Celtic salt is left largely in its natural state. Its characteristic soft grey colour comes from contact with the mineral-rich clay beds of the salt marshes, while naturally occurring minerals such as magnesium, calcium and potassium remain present in the salt.

The salt is then finely ground, giving you the heritage and character of traditional Celtic salt in a convenient form for everyday cooking.

Salt Before We Refined Everything Out of It

Modern table salt is typically processed into a highly uniform white product.

Traditional Celtic salt is different.

It retains the natural grey appearance, flavour and mineral character associated with the ancient salt marshes from which it comes.

You can taste the difference.

It has a fuller, more rounded saltiness than ordinary refined salt, making it excellent with meat, eggs, vegetables, salads, soups, stews, breads and everyday cooking.

Fine Ground for Everyday Use

Traditional Sel Gris is often sold as larger, slightly moist crystals.

Our fine Celtic salt has been naturally dried and finely ground, making it convenient to use anywhere you would normally reach for table salt.

Sprinkle it directly over food, cook with it, add it to sauces and soups, or simply make it your everyday household salt.

From the Salt Marshes of France to Your Table

For centuries, salt workers in Guérande have carefully harvested sea salt from shallow coastal salt ponds.

Sea water is moved through a series of salt marshes where the sun and wind gradually evaporate the water, leaving behind the precious mineral-rich salt crystals.

This traditional process produces the distinctive grey sea salt known throughout France as Sel Gris, literally, “grey salt”.

No fancy flavouring.

No need to reinvent salt.

Just traditional French sea salt, harvested the old way.
