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. That contact with the clay gives the salt its characteristic pale grey colour and contributes to its distinctive mineral character. Esprit du Sel offers it both coarse and ground, with this version giving you the same traditional salt in a finer, more versatile texture.
This is an excellent 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 chef’s valuable cooking salt, suitable for grilled vegetables, herb blends, spice mixes and meat rubs. In a bakery kitchen, it is a particularly useful format when you want the flavour and provenance of sel gris in a texture that is easier to measure and distribute evenly.
Harvested in France and packed in a 300g glass jar, this is a practical pantry salt for everyday use as well as a good choice for customers interested in traditional French ingredients from the Île de Ré.
