Le Guerandais Coarse Sea Salt Gros Sel De Guerande, 28.21 oz (1 Pack)

Good taste

The best salt in my opinion and I'm a bit of a salt freak! It's grey in color and pretty moist which is normal and if it weren't I would have been disappointed. I have a small bowl on the kitchen countertop where I put some of the salt in for cooking. I do run it through the coffee grinder prior to this though, just very quickly, as I also use it for salting food after cooking, and the grains are pretty large for sprinkling. I don't recommend putting this salt in an electric salt grinder though because the moisture will clog up the grinder (been there done that). With 17% sodium content, that's a little below other salts. I also buy this one because of the value for money and it is a "healthy" salt being 100% natural from the source, but we still need to watch our sodium intake.

Everyone’s palette is different. I personally think this is one of the best salts I’ve ever used, but I have never gone to salt seminar or salt tasting so I speak purely from my perspective. I have bought this before, but this size 800 grams and the price point $9 are fantastic. It was a cold day in North Florida when the package arrived and it appears like there’s some moisture inside, no panic. It’s salt. It will be OK. I generally transfer to a Glass jar, where the salt waits until it’s called upon to go into the salt container . I’ve never had an issue… know your salt. Great salt. The grinder is extremely awesome yummy salt, as is their fine salt. In the last container, I show their salt container. I just keep filling that thing up. I live in Florida. I know my moisture try this salt. It will change your life.

I guess I could say, "I like it," but that doesn't help you much, does it. Here is some actual description so you can make an informed decision. This is not an intensely salty salt. It has a fairly short aftertaste which means it will primarily enhance the taste of your food, not overpower it like the cheap supermarket stuff, glucch. Unfortunately it doesn't have much mineral-y character (none, really), but some folks might like that. Not flaky, but nice-sized grains, like coarse sand. Yes, it arrives quite damp. Spread a layer on your toaster-oven tray (not all of it, just a few ounces or however much you're going to use within a month or so) and heat it at 150-160 F. till dry. It doesn't seem to get totally 100% dry so I don't recommend putting it in a grinder. When you transfer it to a shaker, add about 3/4 of a teaspoon of uncooked rice -- and now you know that trick. This salt seems to be suitable for both cooking and finishing. I don't know if I'll marry it, but it's nice for a change.

People don’t get suckered into buying the Celtic Salt Brand for up to $50 a pound . That’s crazy . This is the real Celtic salt this is where the Selina Light Grey Celtic Salt comes from . It’s the same thing but at a quarter the price. This is high quality French Grey direct from the salt flats in France. I use it for everything. Especially sprinkled on fruit and veggie’s coated with lemon or lime juice. Delicious. Man I’m salivating as I type this. I telling you use this salt along with a good EVO to make your food and you’ll really taste the difference. Don’t forget to purchase a good TelliCherry Peppercorn.
