Guerande salt

Store at room temperature, away from sources of heat and humidity.

Guérande sea salt is harvested by hand and benefits from the ancestral savoir faire of salt harvesters. It is 100% natural, unrefined and additive-free. The sun and the wind, along with the expertise of local harvesters, suffice to transform a drop of water into a little grain of salt.

Sea salt has been harvested on the Guérande Peninsula on the west coast of France since the Iron Age, and the techniques used to harvest salt today date back to before the ninth century.

Guérande sea salt, or Sel de Guérande, as well as the more delicate Fleur de Sel de Guérande, received IGP (Indication Géographique Protégée) recognition in 2012. The salt’s IGP status recognizes and protects the specific local characteristics of its production and is a guarantee of quality. The sea salt is produced according to strict specifications: it is collected manually, is not washed after harvest and contains no additives.
