Grey Salt is a "moist", unrefined sea salt usually found on the coastal areas of France. Esprit du Sel harvests from the salt marshes around Île de Ré. Its light grey color comes from the clay found in the salt flats. The salt is collected by hand using traditional Celtic methods. Grey Salt has gained great fame in the mainstream culinary world in the last few years and is considered by many to be the best quality salt available.
Authentic, unwashed and untreated, the Grey Salt is rich in natural minerals as it conserves all of nature's benefits. Use this salt either as whole crystals or in a salt grinder for all cooking and baking preparations; stocks, soups, sauces, marinades and roasts. It is perfect for the French "Croute de Sel," or salt-encrusted recipes.
