Discover the pleasure of grinding your own salt to release the best flavors and essence from inside each grain. Known as the fruit of the sun, sea, and wind, this salt is cultivated using only natural elements in the marshes off the western coast of France found in the carefully preserved, charming, medieval town of Guerande. The salt is hand harvested by craftsmen who use traditional techniques that date back centuries to preserve the sustainable environment and provide clean and potent unrefined salt with no chemical treatment without any chemical treatment, washings, preservatives, or additives. Tinted slightly gray from the nutrients that reside in the clay lining the salt pond where the salt was harvested, it's made of jagged crystals so it’s excellent for grinding onto sprinkling on treats to make them taste extra special.

Try it on baked, soft pretzels, nuts or popcorn, or use to complement a sweet treat like delectable chocolates or caramels. Sprinkle it on melons or corn on the cob; it’s a fantastic seasoning for already-prepared foods.
