Celtic Salt | Grey Sea Salt

Sold by the ounce.

Our Celtic-style Grey Sea Salt, also known as Sel Gris, is an unrefined sea salt sourced from the Guérande region of Brittany, France.

Traditionally harvested from coastal salt ponds by skilled salt harvesters known as paludiers, this salt gets its distinctive grey color and naturally moist texture from the clay-lined salt beds where it is collected.

With its robust, briny flavor and coarse texture, Grey Sea Salt is a beautiful everyday cooking and finishing salt. Use it to season vegetables, soups, roasted potatoes, pasta water, seafood, homemade breads, and more.

And because we sell it by the ounce, you can buy a little to try or stock up on exactly the amount your kitchen needs—with less unnecessary packaging.

How to Use Celtic Grey Sea Salt

Use it anywhere you'd normally reach for sea salt. It's especially good for:

• Pasta and cooking water
• Roasted vegetables and potatoes
• Soups and stews
• Homemade bread
• Seafood
• Seasoning and finishing savory dishes

Because the crystals are larger and more moist than standard table salt, measurements may not substitute exactly 1:1 by volume in recipes.

Is Celtic Sea Salt Good for Hydration?

Sodium is an electrolyte that plays an important role in normal fluid balance, nerve signaling, and muscle function.

You may see Celtic sea salt promoted online as a special way to “hydrate” the body. While Celtic-style sea salt contains sodium and naturally occurring trace minerals, it isn't a magic hydration supplement, and most people don't need to add salt to all of their drinking water.

Celtic Sea Salt vs. Table Salt

Unlike highly refined table salt, Grey Sea Salt retains its natural moisture and trace minerals and has a much different texture and flavor.

That makes it especially appealing to shoppers looking for a less-refined cooking salt with a traditional origin and distinctive taste.
