Eden Sea Salt: Hand-Harvested French Celtic

This unrefined sea salt is hand-harvested from the protected Isle of Noirmoutier in Brittany, France. Using traditional Celtic methods, the salt is stone-ground with no chemicals added, resulting in a smooth, mellow flavor and a wealth of trace minerals.

The Isle of Noirmoutier: Ideal for Salt Production

The Isle of Noirmoutier is famous for its sea salt production. Two-thirds of the island is sea marsh, situated in the Bay of Biscay in the Vendee region, and connected to the mainland by the Gois Causeway. The sunny, almost tropical climate and constant gentle dry winds make Noirmoutier an ideal location for salt evaporation.

Traditional Salt Harvesting

Atlantic waters flow into the island's rectangular, hard sun-baked man-made clay pools. Over two days of evaporation from sun and wind, large coarse crystals called 'sel gros' form. These light gray crystals are harvested by the 'saunier' or salt harvester, using long rakes to gather the crystals to one side of the pool. The saunier collects small amounts every two days, adding them to the growing pile as the harvest season progresses.

Eden Foods Celtic Fine Sea Salt

Eden Foods' Celtic Fine Sea Salt is a supreme value, ideal for use as table salt and for all cooking and baking needs. It is in its natural state, with trace elements almost identical to the sea, but does not supply iodide, a necessary nutrient.

In conclusion, Eden Foods' commitment to purity and quality in their natural food products is exemplified by their hand-harvested, unrefined French Celtic sea salt from the renowned Isle of Noirmoutier. The traditional methods used to produce this salt result in a superior product that is rich in flavor and trace minerals.
