This fine, organic, gourmet sea salt with vegetables and tantalizing aromatic herbs is a subtle condiment that adds a delicate, celery-like flavor and enhances your meals. We import this salt from Guerande, a carefully preserved, charming, medieval town on the western coast of France that boasts a rich and fascinating history, and is home to closely guarded marshes where salt is cultivated by only natural elements: wind, sea, and sun. The salt is harvested by hand using ancestral, centuries-old techniques and craftsmanship to preserve the sustainable environment and provide pure, clean, potent, unrefined salt without any chemical treatment, washings, preservatives, or additives.

This is excellent on vegetables whether they are raw roasted, simmered, or steamed -- and don’t forget to shake it onto crudites. Also a wonderful accompaniment to pasta rice, soups, and sauces, it is absolutely perfect in tomato juice; the balance of flavors is heavenly and harmonious.

Fairway Marketplace is brought to you by Fairway Market, a specialty food chain that started back in 1933 with a small fruit and vegetable stand on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Today, Fairway Market is legendary for its experts and expertise in all things food, and a relentless obsession with quality throughout all of the different departments in its stores. In December of 2011, Fairway launched this online shop, so that we could bring the best of the best of what Fairway offers, at the same great values, to those who don’t live near one of our stores. Why keep all of this foodie goodness to ourselves? That simply would not be fair.
