Packed in the U.S. in an SQF-quality facility, the salt preserves the traditional Celtic production methods and natural mineral character that chefs and home cooks prize. It’s ideal for adding texture and balanced salinity to meats, seafood, soups, and roasted vegetables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes this French grey sea salt different from table salt?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike refined table salt, this Sel Gris is collected by hand and retains its natural mineral profile and a subtle grey tone from the clay-bottomed salt flats. The result is a milder, more complex mouthfeel and large, coarse crystals that provide both flavor and crunch when used as a finishing salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUnrefined coarse crystals with natural mineral traces for depth of flavor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHand-harvested using century-old Celtic techniques in Guérande.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo anti-caking agents, MSG, gluten, dairy, soy, or GMOs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKosher certified and packaged in an SQF-quality, Organic-compliant U.S. facility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I use this coarse Sel Gris in everyday cooking?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis coarse French grey salt works well during cooking and as a finishing touch. Use it sparingly while searing meats or sprinkle lightly over roasted vegetables and salads to deliver a crisp burst of flavor and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeason steaks and chops before or after grilling for crunchy briny contrast.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFinish soups, chowders, or pasta with a pinch to brighten flavors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRim dishes or top baked goods where coarse flakes are desirable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse during roasting to help draw out moisture and intensify browning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the salt work in salt mills or grinders?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause this sea salt is unrefined and may carry natural moisture, the coarse grains can be damp and irregular in shape. That makes it less reliable in mechanical grinders; it’s best used with a pinch, spoon, or mortar and pestle, or in recipes that can accommodate larger crystals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMay arrive slightly damp due to natural harvesting and moisture retention.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNot recommended for standard grinders or mills that require uniform dry crystals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIdeal for hand-sprinkling, finishing dishes, or crushing by hand for a coarse grind.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStore in a cool, dry place to maintain preferred texture and flow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is this product responsibly sourced and handled?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe salt comes from the Guérande region’s salt marshes, where harvesters use traditional methods that respect the local ecosystem.
