Coarse Guérande Salt – 1kg – Raw White or Grey Salt | Salt Artisans

Coarse, artisanal salt, raw and natural, essential for authentic cooking: for salting, cooking and preserving your recipes like in Brittany. Product Description At Les Artisans du Sel, we offer two coarse salts from our tradition: Coarse white salt, the exceptional raw salt, obtained through careful selection during harvesting. Coarse gray salt, the raw harvest, collected in recently reclaimed salt marshes or in more friable clay. Under pressure from industry and the massive arrival of refined salt, the salt workers of Guérande were encouraged to produce a whiter salt, closer to industrial salt, which is now firmly established in consumer habits. ­ However, the whiteness of the salt depends on the general condition of the saltworks, the specific characteristics of the clay and the know-how of the salt worker: each batch is unique. Coarse grey salt, typical of the region, is traditionally preferred in Brittany for its natural appearance and mineral richness. ­ Both coarse salts have a similar composition and are suitable for all culinary uses: cooking, salting, preserving, making homemade bread, etc. We recommend transferring your coarse salt to a glass, stoneware, or porcelain container for better preservation.
