What is Celtic sea salt

Celtic sea salt is a type of grey salt traditionally associated with Atlantic salt flats—especially in Brittany, France. It is obtained through natural evaporation and artisanal harvesting, which preserves its irregular grain size and slight moisture content .

Its culinary appeal lies in its well-rounded, less aggressive flavor that enhances the natural profile of the food. Due to its production method, it preserves naturally occurring marine trace elements .

How to recognize the authentic

• Color and texture : grayish, with a moist grain and a slightly clayey feel.
• Origin : clear indications of origin from Atlantic salt flats and artisanal method.
• Labeling : no anti-caking agents or additives; batch and producer information.
• Reasonable price : it is usually higher than that of refined salt due to its manual production.

Culinary uses: flavor and texture

Ideal as a finishing salt for fish, roasted vegetables, salads, and grilled meats. Its moisture helps it adhere well to the food and adds a crunchy touch at the end.

• Griddle and oven : sprinkle at the end to maintain its texture.
• Sauces and dressings : adjust the grind (fine) to dissolve evenly.
• Bakery and desserts : sweet-salty contrast in caramel, chocolate or biscuits.
