Natural crystals of sea salt that has not been ground, and as such appears as a coarse grey Celtic sea salt. The sea salt crystals are formed naturally as the sea water is not evaporated by the introduction of an artificial heat source, as in the production of many of the modern sea salts.

Without giving a quarter to the inhabitants, they engaged in frenzied plunder and did not respect even the churches, five of which were desecrated and burned, while approximately 8000 inhabitants were massacred in the streets, burned in their homes or in the Church of Saint Aubin.Le Guérandais Guérande Salt is produced in Brittany by the ocean, sun and wind and is hand-harvested by salt workers, using skills and a method that are over a thousand years old. The 150 men from the 65th line infantry regiment, were entrenched behind the city walls and pushed back the Chouans without much difficulty. Au printemps, ils vident les salines où l’eau de pluie s’est accumulée et en retirent la vase et les algues.

In the middle of the 19th century, a gradual decline started for different reasons: competition from a salt mine, lower consumption of salt as a product of conservation and improvement of transport by land.D’ailleurs pour l’anecdote : les goitres, qui étaient fréquents encore au début du 20e siècle, ont disparus grâce à l’ajout d’iode dans le sel. pour finir des plats et à la table en pincées, toujours en essayant de respecter les conseils (OMS, fondations de cardiologie, etc…) de ne pas dépasser 5g par jour, une cuillère à café rasée. The little white pyramids of salt are shaped by the “new generation” salt farmers who perpetuate an ancestral skill. Really natural, unrefined Guerande sea salt is naturally damp and is best kept in something like a "salt pig' for easy use in the kitchen or at the table. Resulting from just the right combination of sea, sun, wind and traditional savoir-faire, Guérande salt has been harvested by hand from the marshes of Pays de la Loire for thousands of years.

The salt picker, known as the 'paludier', also picks a less delicately flavoured salt from underneath the top layer, known as ' sel gris ' which is more suitable for salt crusts and cooking. Temperature makes a difference as well: a dish that has been salted to taste whilst cold might be too salty after heating.
