Quick Reference
What is it?: A fine grey sea salt from the traditional salt marshes of Guerande in western France.
Flavour: Moist, mineral and rounded, with a softer salinity than refined table salt.
Common uses: Season during cooking, dissolve into sauces and dressings, or use at the table.
Pairs well with: Fish, vegetables, soups, eggs, bread and French cooking.
Compare with: Finer and quicker-dissolving than Gros Sel, while retaining the grey mineral character of the marsh salt.
Substitute: Fine unrefined sea salt is the nearest substitute.
Storage: Keep sealed in a cool, dry place away from steam and moisture. For smoked or delicate finishing salts, close the pack promptly to protect their aroma and crystal texture.
Good to know: Its grey tone comes naturally from contact with the clay-lined salt ponds rather than from added colour.
