Les familles des produitsLe Guérandais Guérande Salt harvested by salt workers can take on different forms: coarse salt, which is recognised by its large grey crystals, fine salt, also known as ground salt, which also comes flavoured with herbs, seaweed and vegetables, and the delicate flower of salt, the “caviar of the marshes”.
All these products are sold in supermarkets, hypermarkets, specialist distribution networks and in the export market, and each, in its own way, helps to add flavour to our food.

Flavoured salts
Le Guérandais Fine Guérande Salt has also been developed in three delicate flavours:

  • With herbs: it develops all the scents of the bouquet of aromatic plants that are added to it. It is ideal for seasoning vinaigrettes, vegetables and barbecues.
  • With seaweed: with a subtle mix of three types of seaweed to give it a flavour of the sea, this salt will add delicate aromas to fish, shellfish, soups, sauces or even fish stocks.
  • With vegetables: added at the end of cooking or used as a seasoning, it will delicately flavour all your vegetables, cooked, in salads or served raw. This subtle mix goes particularly well with tomato juices, pasta, rice, soups and sauces.
