Ground Grey Sea Salt (Sel Gris Marin) 500g Bag

Ground Grey Sea Salt, or Sel Gris Marin, is a traditional French sea salt from the Île de Ré, where it is harvested from the bottom of clay-lined salt marshes. Contact with the clay gives the salt its characteristic pale grey colour and contributes to its distinctive mineral character. Esprit du Sel offers grey sea salt in both coarse and ground forms, with this version giving you the same traditional salt in a finer, more versatile texture.

This is a useful all-purpose cooking salt for bakers and cooks who want a natural sea salt with more character than standard refined table salt. The finer grind makes it especially practical for bread doughs, savoury baking, marinades, sauces, soups, roasting and everyday seasoning, where it mixes in more readily than coarse crystals.

Esprit du Sel describes grey sea salt as a valuable cooking salt, and the ground version is particularly handy where you want the flavour and provenance of sel gris in a texture that is easier to measure and distribute evenly. Packed in a 500g bag, this format is a practical choice for regular kitchen use.
