Le Guérandais - Tradition Grey Coarse Guérande Salt

Tradition Grey Coarse Guérande Salt is a sea salt harvested by hand from the salt marshes of Guérande in Brittany. It is naturally grey, unwashed, unrefined and additive-free, preserving all its richness in essential minerals and trace elements.

Traditional harvesting method

The salt is harvested every day in summer, when the weather combines wind and sun on the Guérande peninsula. The salt concentrates to a concentration of 250 g/l, crystallising and depositing on the carnation clay. The salt workers use a wooden tool called a "las" to push the salt to the edge of the basin, where it drips onto a round clay platform called a "ladure". The next day, the salt is transported to the "mulon", the salt works' storage pile.
