This remarkable Le Paludier sea salt is harvested using age old means. It comes from the salt marshes of South Brittany - Guerande. This fleur de sel (flower of salt) is the only one of its kind to have received the esteemed honor of "label rouge" in France . It is 100% natural with no additives and it is lower in sodium than regular salt. It derives its flavor from the sea and its slight "ivory" color from the clay present in the area where it is harvested. For harvesting sea water is drawn into an area lined with clay, the sun and wind help evaporate the water and the layers of salt are raked away. A perfect and special ingredient to keep in the pantry.
