French Sea Salt Tradition
Fleur de sel de guérande, sized for everyday cooking.

Le Guérandais is a cooperative of salt harvesters working the marshes of Guérande in Brittany, France. This 8.8 oz jar holds the same fleur de sel de guerande the region has been known for since the days of Charlemagne, hand-skimmed from the surface of the marsh and left completely unrefined. We also carry it in a linen gift bag if you're shopping for a present.

What makes fleur de sel different

 

How it's harvested

On the right day, with the right wind, a thin crust of salt crystals forms on top of the marsh. Harvesters skim it off by hand using a traditional wooden tool. Fleur de sel makes up only a small share of what a marsh produces each year, which is part of why it's prized by chefs.

The texture

Light and flaky, with delicate salt crystals that sit on top of food instead of dissolving straight into it. That's what gives it a soft crunch and clean, briny flavor, closer to a violet note than plain table salt.

How to use it

Keep the jar next to the stove for a natural finishing salt you'll actually reach for daily: eggs, roasted vegetables, grilled fish, sliced tomatoes, or a warm chocolate chip cookie fresh from the oven.

In detail

Ingredients

100% natural sea salt. No additives, no anti-caking agents, gluten free. Hand harvested and unrefined, with trace minerals from the Brittany coast.

Taste

Clean and briny with a mild sweetness, some say a faint hint of violet. None of the harsh bite of refined table salt, so a light hand goes further.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place. Keep this chef salt fresh and ready by the stove. 8.8 oz (250g).

About the Maker

A cooperative of salt harvesters on the Brittany coast.

Le Guérandais brings together salt harvesters, known locally as paludiers, who work the marshes of Guérande in Brittany. Fleur de sel is the most delicate part of the harvest, gathered only when conditions are just right and never in large amounts.

This 8.8 oz bag is the everyday format: the same hand harvested sea salt, sized to sit on your counter and get used, not saved for special occasions.
