San Francisco Salt Co. French Grey Sea Salt – Coarse Grain Sel Gris, 2 lb Bag (Guérande, France)

Introducing San Francisco Salt Co. French Grey Sea Salt

From the storied shores of Guérande, France, this 100% natural French grey salt delivers a subtle mineral lift rather than overpowering saltiness. The coarse grains melt pleasantly on contact, creating a clean, nuanced finish that pairs well with a wide range of dishes—from hearty chowders to delicate seafood. Its traditional hand-harvesting method reflects a long-standing coastal craft, bringing a touch of regional authenticity to everyday cooking.

What sets this salt apart is its versatile profile. The mild flavor can enrich meats, shellfish, soups, pastas, and sauces without dominating the plate. The crystals are typically slightly damp after harvest—a natural byproduct of the process—and this is normal; simply transfer to a dry storage area if you prefer a drier texture. The product is Kosher certified, Non-GMO, and free from MSG, soy, gluten, dairy, and anti-caking agents, with packaging carried out in a SQF-certified U.S. facility.
