Origin and background

Fleur de sel de Guérande gris Tradition is the result of age-old know-how practised in the salt marshes of Guérande. Harvested by hand by salt workers using age-old methods, it is naturally grey due to its contact with the clay of the carnations. Unwashed and unrefined, it retains its mineral richness and authentic flavour.
