Sel Fin de Guérande - Fine Sea Salt in a Shaker

Sel Fin de Guérande – Fine Sea Salt in a Shaker – L'Atelier du Sel

The Sel Fin de Guérande from l'Atelier du Sel is a fine sea salt in a practical shaker from Brittany. The Sel Fin de Guérande is carefully harvested by two independent salt workers, Gilles and Matthieu, using traditional artisanal methods in the salt marshes in the Bay of Aranlec. The profession of paludier is passed down from father to son, thus preserving the knowledge of the art of salt harvesting, so it's no surprise that Gilles and Matthieu are uncle and nephew.

Before the Sel Marin Gris, the grey sea salt, is ground, it is dried further using an innovation, a solar dryer, in addition to the natural drying that has already taken place. This fine sea salt is thus produced with clean energy and without chemical additives. It is packaged in a recyclable cardboard salt shaker with a compostable cornstarch lid. This reflects Gilles and Matthieu's environmentally conscious approach.

L'Atelier du Sel – Sel Fin de Guérande

Sel Gris Marin de Guérande, coarse sea salt, which is harvested every summer in the salt pan basins of L'Atelier du Sel according to ancient tradition, is created by the interplay of sun and wind and the artisanal work of the paludier.

Unlike refined industrial salts, Guérande salt is neither washed nor chemically treated and contains no additives (fluoride, nitrite, iodine, pouring or separating agents). The Guérande salt from l'Atelier du Sel dewaters naturally in the sun, so it contains magnesium and other trace elements. It is easily distinguished by its floral scent, its geometric crystals with angular shapes, and is the basis for this ground Sel Fin, fine sea salt.

The Sel Fin from L'Atelier du Sel is a protected designation of origin salt from Guérande and bears the blue and yellow official seal. The special taste of Sel Fin de Guérande is appreciated by gourmets.
