Sel Gris, or Grey Salt, is a coarse salt like sea salt in texture. It has a complex taste of minerals and unrefined natural sea salts. The name “Sel Gris” translates to “gray salt” in French, referring to its distinctive grayish color, which is a result of the mineral-rich clay lining the salt ponds where it is harvested.

Sel Gris is hand-harvested from the same salt pans as Fleur de Sel. However, Sel Gris meets the bottom of the pans (oeillet) that collect the water. The salt is then hand-raked daily from the bottom of the brine.

To prevent contamination during the harvesting process, a layer of clay protects the Sel Gris from meeting the silt at the bottom. Once raked to the sides, the salt is left to dry before being stored. Typically, 40 – 75kg can be harvested in one day.

Due to its coarseness, Sel Gris can be used as both a cooking salt and a finishing salt. It pairs well with hearty and heavy cuts of meat such as beef, lamb and even root vegetables. The texture is moist, almost slightly damp, giving it a unique crunch and feel. It’s the higher moisture which helps to preserve the natural minerals and nutrients that are found within the salt. Considered a gourmet salt due to its intense harvesting process and unique flavour and texture, t’s highly regarded by chefs and foodies around the world.
