Derived from marshes in the wetlands of Guerande, a charming medieval town south of Brittany on the western coast of France, this salt is cultivated by only the sun, sea, and wind. This very special 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.

These fine delicate crystals dissolve quickly making this a great choice for cooking. Toss it into stir-fries and pasta water to bring out the flavor of your meals, use it in baking sweet and savory treats, or as a table salt.

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.
