Sea salt, coarse, gray, moist, Noirmoutier / France

Salt production in the salt pans of southern Brittany has a long tradition. This coarse sea salt from Noirmoutier is hand-harvested and processed without any additives. The salt crystals are compact and slightly gray due to the inclusion of suspended matter (algae and clay) during crystallization. The sea salt, also known as Sel Gris, has a high residual moisture and a spicy taste and can be used to prepare all dishes.
