Guérande Sea Salt

In Brittany near the town of Guerande are marshes and low lying areas suitable for salt fields. There is a mini climate that is much milder that the rest of Brittany. The currents of the Atlantic run cleaner there than many salt harvesting locations. This confluence of nature makes for an ideal area for a salt farm region. Guerande has no peer in Europe for the quality of salt produced.

The fine grey sea salt from Guérande is known as the sea salt with the highest content of magnesium and other minerals. Sel Miran is the perfect all natural replacement for refined table salt.
