Celtic sea salt (fine), 500g

Traditional salt from Brittany

Celtic sea salt, also known as "Sel de Guérande", has been harvested by salt farmers in Brittany, France, for around 2000 years. To do this, the seawater is passed through various basins in which the salt content is increasingly concentrated by evaporation in the sun until the salt crystals settle on the natural clay soil of the crystallising basin (œillet) and are extracted from the brine by hand using a special device. This Celtic sea salt is neither refined nor washed after harvesting and contains no additives.

The clay, which occurs naturally in the soil of the salt marshes, gives the salt its characteristic colour and taste. Even the Celts appreciated the flavour of the sea salt grown in Brittany with its special crystal structure, which is how this special salt got its name. Even today, top chefs swear by this particularly crunchy salt with its intense salty flavour, which brings out the intrinsic flavours of food. The fine salt is particularly suitable for seasoning salads, for example, or for use as normal table salt: think of a flavoursome lamb's lettuce salad with sautéed mushrooms or a deliciously spicy pasta salad. Sprinkle with fine Celtic sea salt and enjoy!
