Characteristics of celtic sea salt

Celtic sea salt is extracted according to a 2,000-year-old tradition in the Guérande region of Brittany, France. Water from the cold sea current of the Atlantic Ocean is channelled through an ingenious system of channels into shallow clay marshes. The acid clay in these marshes neutralizes to some extent the highly alkaline seawater. Seawater naturally has a sodium content of 97 to 99 percent, but after the Atlantic seawater interacts with the soil in the Celtic clay marshes, the sodium content is reduced to just below 90 percent. This makes Celtic sea salt 1 kg from the Guérande region the most sodium-poor sea salt in the world.

Moreover, the sea salt mixes with the clay minerals giving it a gray color. This only benefits the mineral content of the salt! The entire process takes about two weeks, after which the salt water is collected in a basin where it is evaporated by the sun, leaving only the salt crystals. The salt miner (paludier) then manually scoops up the salt. This is visible in the crystals which are of varying sizes and the very complex, mild taste in which, in addition to salt tones, sweet and even bitter tones can be tasted!

Celtic sea salt from the Guérande region is known for its culinary virtues. Naturally gray and containing less salt than Mediterranean salt, Guérande salt is softer in the mouth and richer in flavor so cooks prefer it when cooking vegetables, as well as for barbecues where meat and fish are cooked in a salt crust.
