Hand-harvested from the coastal salt marshes of Guérande in France, this unrefined sea salt is sun-dried, additive-free, and naturally grey from mineral-rich clay. Finely ground for everyday use, for pure mineral-rich flavour.
Unlike heavily processed table salt, this Celtic Sea Salt is harvested using traditional non-mechanised methods that allow the necessary time and care during cultivation. This unwashed, unrefined and additive-free sea salt retains its natural mineral content and authentic flavour, making it a wholesome pantry staple.
Both our coarse and fine Celtic Sea Salt are sourced from the saline marshlands of Le Guérande in Western France and hand-harvested using traditional methods renowned for their culinary quality. The salt naturally develops its grey colour as it crystallises on contact with the mineral-rich clay found within the salt marshes. This natural colour is a reflection of its gentle extraction and minimal processing methods.
Compared to regular table salt, which is highly refined and processed at high temperatures to produce mostly sodium chloride, naturally derived Celtic Sea Salt has a distinctive flavour, texture and mineral profile. Its lightly sea-kissed flavour enhances stocks, vegetables, pasta water, barbequed meats, roasted vegetables and fish baked in salt crusts.
Celtic Sea Salt is available in both fine and coarse textures. The nutritional profile of both remains the same, while the choice between fine and coarse depends on the culinary application and desired texture.
NB: SEL FIN DE GUERANDE - NATURAL FINE SEA SALT is another name used for Celtic Sea Salt - Fine, this is the name used by the supplier and you may see this on some of the bulk packaging. Water flows from the Celtic Sea, into the Guérande peninsula where it is received by marshes and shallow ponds that support the natural evaporation process.
HOW TO USE
Honest to Goodness coarse Celtic Sea Salt is ideal for everyday family cooking. Its naturally savoury flavour and texture make it perfect for salting stocks, vegetables, pasta water, barbequed meats and fish. It is also popular as a finishing salt, adding flavour and crunch to salads, vegetables, popcorn and caramel.
Celtic Sea Salt can also be used to make flavoured salts by combining it with dried herbs, spices or citrus zest. Store blends in an airtight container.
The moist crystals distribute evenly throughout dough, helping create flaky textures in bread, pizza dough and pastries.
Celtic Sea Salt also adds depth to soups, curries, sauces and broths.
The coarse crystals can even be used in homemade exfoliating body scrubs when mixed with oils such as Organic Virgin Coconut Oil.
Celtic Sea Salt - Fine vs Coarse
Fine Celtic Sea Salt has a smaller, more uniform crystal size that dissolves quickly and evenly. It is ideal for baking, sauces, dressings and recipes where you want the salt to blend smoothly into food.
Coarse Celtic Sea Salt has larger, irregular crystals that provide texture and crunch. It is best suited for finishing dishes, seasoning meats and adding texture to vegetables.
Whichever texture you choose, enjoy the natural flavour and versatility of Celtic Sea Salt.
GROWING & PROCESSING
Although the name “Celtic” may suggest Irish origins, this salt is actually harvested in Western France. Our Celtic Sea Salt comes from the Guérande peninsula, where water from the Celtic Sea flows into over 2,000 hectares of salt marshes.
Traditional harvesting methods use natural elements such as sun, wind, gravity and tidal movement. The non-mechanised salt farms allow producers to carefully manage the slow crystallisation process. Seawater flows through a network of ponds and channels, naturally filtering impurities along the way.
Using wooden rakes, salt farmers manually collect the salt from the seawater and allow it to dry naturally using the sun and wind. This slow, low-temperature drying process avoids heavy industrial refining and helps preserve the salt’s natural mineral content and unique characteristics
