Salt Story

Warm, sunny afternoons on the deserted and pristine coastline ( a salt-rimmed margarita in your hand, of course ). The spray of a crystal-clean ocean mists on your cheek. Sun, sand and salt. The slightly damp texture and briny flavor of Sel Gris will transport you to the sea. Sel Gris is hand harvested on the coast of France. The low-lying marshes create the ideal setting for salt to develop as the Atlantic Ocean flows through this area to create pure salt deposits. You can taste the purity of the sea in every crystal. Clay deposits in the marsh lend a gray hue to this moist salt. The tiny crystals are the color of the ocean on a stormy afternoon. This delicious, gray salt has a mild salt flavor that will enhance delicate flavors, like oysters and light pasta dishes, without overwhelming the dish.

This briny, ocean-tinged salt is wonderful in seafood dishes. Experiment with Sel Gris in clam chowder or oyster stew. Pasta dishes, such as linguine with white clam sauce or simple spaghetti con aglio e olio will sing with a sprinkle of Sel Gris. The moist texture also makes this an excellent rim-salt: try it on your next Bloody Mary.
