This salt comes from Guerande, a province that gives its name and peculiarity, located on the Atlantic coast of the historic region of Brittany (France). This salt is classified as one of the highest quality sea salts and we have it right there and it comes to us in its original, pure, and authentic state.
Its peculiar characteristics speak for themselves:
- Its greyish color depends on the seabed from which it comes.
- The grain texture is coarse.
- Guerande salt in its tartuflanghe variety has a slight white truffle flavor.
- It is considered a whole, unrefined salt, due to its 100% natural origin.
- It is collected by people in charge of tracking the surface of the salt flats using a rake.
- Its collection dates back to the 9th century.
If its features have surprised you, its multiple uses will surprise you even more. Gray salt is as versatile as other salts, although its most special uses are:
- Barbecues: once food has been cooked, season it with a light flick of the wrist with our gourmet grinder. You’ll love it!
- Sushi: a touch on the already prepared sushi will offer a very different flavor.
- Foie gras: prepare some toasted foie gras and add a touch of salt on top to enhance its flavor.
If you want to try something different with a touch of the sea, this salt is yours. What are you waiting for to add this to your purchase?
