What is Celtic Sea Salt
The taste of Celtic Sea Salt is unique. It has an enormously rich flavor, a blend of saltiness as well as its sweetness and bitterness. Celtic Sea Salt has a low sodium chloride content, making it the mildest sea salt in the world. It is also packed with minerals and trace elements. This makes Celtic Sea Salt a healthier option than regular table salt. Conventional kitchen salt (sodium chloride) is extremely unhealthy because it depletes the body of all essential minerals. Celtic Sea Salt does the opposite: it actually replenishes the minerals that are essential to our health. Celtic Sea Salt contains over 80 essential minerals and trace elements.
Where does this Celtic Sea Salt come from?
This Celtic Sea Salt comes from Brittany, a peninsula in the north-west of France. According to the ancient history of the city of Guérande, sea salt was already being harvested at the time of the first cities and Celtic states (Iron Age). The first salt mines date back to the 3rd century and the current outlines of the salt pans date back to the 10th century.
At that time, the town of Guérande became the Eldorado of Brittany, thanks to the flourishing trade in sea salt.
How is Celtic Sea Salt produced?
In the Guérande salt flats, the production of Celtic Sea Salt is a 100% natural process. Thanks to a series of ponds where the water evaporates, the salt crystallizes in the water and is then harvested. Under the influence of the sun, heat and wind, the water evaporates and the salt content gradually increases.
