Manufacturer's Product Comments/Description

Europeans have long recognized Celtic Sea Salts for it's many health benefits. Unlike table salt or refined sea salts, Celtic Sea Salt is harvested by hand, with no chemicals added and no nutrients removed. Celtic Sea Salt is friendly to your body-lowest sodium and the richest in precious minerals.

In the most pristine, wild area of the French countryside, the paludiers of Brittany farm salt while saving valuable resources and preserving vital marshlands. These culinary salts have their seal of identity, like vintage cleanliness and method of salt farming without the use of pesticides or herbicides are authenticated by a group of professional inspectors led by "Nature et Progres", Europe's most diligent and prestigious consumer protection organization.

In France and many other countries outside the U.S., Light Grey is treasured as the finest of all condiments. Free of any processing, it is dried only by the hot summer's sun and wind.

It is harvested by expert saltmakers who delicately gather the salt with wooden hand tools from the eddying salt flats within the marsh. The characteristic light grey color comes from the pure clay soil of the manicured basins. That clay ionizes the many mineral salts, making them even richer in electrolytes. The crystals are very carefully sifted to remove the darker crystals. Because light grey is just sun dried, it retains some of the ocean moisture; this helps lock in many vital trace elements.

Suggested Use:This salt is best used in cooking because of the coarse consistency and density of the crystals. It may be used directly on your food at the table, but it is advised to grind it with a mortar and pestle or a Salt grinder. Salt is corrosive therefore we do not recommend a traditional pepper grinder.

How to store all celtic sea salts:The bulk of salts can be stored in a sealed, noncorroding container, in a cool place.

In the kitchen or at the dining table:It is best stored in a wooden Salt Cellar, (a lidded, wooden box). Next choice would be glass or ceramic with a loose fitting or cork lid allowing the salt to breathe yet protecting it from dust.
