Sea Salt, Gray

<p>The size and shape of these granules vary. Due to their pale-gray hue they look like chipped soapstone collected from the floor of a sculptor’s studio. The high moisture content makes this salt sweet and as light as a drizzle.</p>

Gray sea salt, otherwise known as Sel Gris, was the backbone of the European salt trade for centuries. Carefully farmed seawater is dehydrated until only mineral-rich brine remains. This brine is further dehydrated into the delicate, winter cloud-colored, chunky salt.

A high moisture content and minerality give this salt a sweet flavor, with hints of wet stone. You’ll find the granules melt quickly on the tongue and crunch apart easily. This finishing salt is perfect for meats right out of the oven or skillet. The salt will maintain some crunch, but much of it will melt apart in a gamey brine that’ll enrich every bite of the meat.
