Gourmet salt, Gros Sel de Guerande

"The salt pans of Guérande in the southwest of Brittany have existed for several centuries, records speak of around 2000 years. The unchanged technique of salt production is still used today. The salt fields are made of grey-blue clay, which releases important minerals and trace elements into the salt crystal and thus giving this salt its unique greyish colour.This "rustic salt from the Bretons" with its high residual moisture content, which is highly valued, convinces with its taste quality. Sel is particularly popular for dishes such as chicken or fish in a spicy salt crust. Also for seasoning soups, sauces, boiled potatoes, etc. However, it is less suitable for salt mills because of the humidity."
