Natural Coarse Grey Sea Salt from Noirmoutier Isla

This is a traditional French sel gris harvested by hand from the clay-lined salt marshes of Noirmoutier Island along the Atlantic coast. Produced using centuries-old methods, this salt is formed as seawater evaporates under the sun and ocean air, allowing crystals to settle into mineral-rich clay beds that give it its signature grey color and complex character.

Unwashed and unrefined, the salt retains natural moisture and trace minerals, resulting in a coarse, slightly damp texture and a robust, well-rounded salinity. The presence of clay particles contributes subtle mineral depth, making it more nuanced than refined salts while delivering a bold, satisfying flavor.

Ideal for everyday cooking, this coarse grey sea salt is perfect for seasoning meats, vegetables, soups, and grains, or for use in salt crusts and brining. Rooted in generations of artisanal expertise, it offers an authentic taste of French coastal tradition and a dependable staple for the kitchen.
