Artisanal Celtic Sea Salt
Unprocessed, naturally pure and rich in minerals
Celtic sea salt, also known as sel gris, has been harvested for centuries from the salt marshes of Brittany in France. Natural evaporation in clay basins produces an unrefined sea salt with a distinctive grey colour and a rich mineral profile.
The salt is harvested by hand, so it keeps its pure flavour and valuable minerals.
Perfect for everyday cooking and for finishing your dishes.

It began with a phone call from salt farmer Patrick Pichon in Batz-sur-Mer to his brother Pascal in the Netherlands. Twenty years on, our salt is found in shops and kitchens across the Netherlands, still harvested by hand by our paludiers in Guérande and still imported by the same family.
