These age-old systems of filtration are very sophisticated; sometimes it is the water of the surface which is filtered, sometimes the water of the middle and sometimes the bottom water in turn, up to seventeen times. By skimming the crystals off of the surface of the brine, only the most delicate crystals are caught before they sink to become the Light Grey Celtic salt. With little more done than natural draining, the yield is a moist, natural crystal salt with the brine, or “bitterns” still intact. Since our founding in 1976, Celtic Sea Salt has grown into a worldwide brand, recommended for both unique taste and unique health benefits.

Sea salt is lower in sodium than regular table salt and contains less additives like bleach meaning you can enjoy more taste, not chemicals.

We recommend that you do not rely solely on the information presented here and that you always read labels, warnings, and directions before using or consuming a product. The seawater carries on its journey until it has evaporated enough and only the natural grey salt crystals are left behind.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products.

This salt is completely as nature created it - unwashed, unground, unrefined - nothing added or removed at all. The sea salt has been harvested in the same old traditional way by salt farmers in Brittany, France for over 2000 years. Our salts retain the natural balance and spectrum of essential minerals, supplying the body with over 74 vital trace minerals and elements.

Instead, in the Guerande the sea water passes through several kilometres of clay lined channels and pools. The seawater is naturally filtered seventeen times before it reaches the last of the collections ponds. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.Unrefined salts like ours have no more than trace amounts of Iodine, not enough to satisfy your daily recommended amount. Seawater at high tide is trapped in estuaries until it evaporates to a brine, in which it is guided by the salt farmer through a series of clay-lined beds until by the end it is crystallizing. Atlantic seawater flows in summer at high tide through a canal system in a first salt pan, where it comes to rest, so that large particles in the water can settle. For minerals to be bio-available they need to have been passed through a life form - either plant or animal. Flower of the Ocean is a culinary treasure, known as a “finishing salt” or an “expediting salt” to be pinched on food right before serving.

Since 1976, we’ve grown into a national and worldwide brand that has been recommended by doctors and nutritionists for its unique health benefits and by chefs for its unique taste.

AUTHENTIC, UNPROCESSED – Celtic Sea Salt is authentic, unprocessed whole salt from pristine coastal regions.This salt is composed of only 71 to 74% of sodium chloride (for comparison most of the other salts are 98% sodium chloride), (ref: Dr Brian Clement). Because the salt is only 71 to 74% of sodium chloride, compared to the 98% most other salts are, the rest of it is comprised of bio-available minerals and trace elements (calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron, manganese, sulphur, zinc, iodine and other nutritive elements).
