French Grey Sea Salt from Guérande, Fine Grain
Details
Danielle D. started Flour & Herbs in 2020 in Murrieta, California, with a bread mix she wanted to share with home bakers. Years of experimenting with bread, herbs and spices led her to make seasonings and food gifts for the same meals she liked to serve to friends. The woman-owned business mixes in small batches and makes its blends without fillers.
This fine-grain French grey sea salt is described by the supplier as harvested in the clay-lined salt ponds of Guérande, France. Its pale grey crystals bring a briny finish to vegetables, breads and snacks.

Care
Serving and storage
Try it over sliced tomatoes with olive oil or on warm roast vegetables. The fine grains spread readily across a serving, so start with a small pinch and taste before adding more. The pale grains also pair well with a warm baked potato and a little unsalted butter.
Use it as a topping for roasted nuts or focaccia. If a baking recipe specifies a particular salt by weight or grain size, follow that instruction and use this salt as a finish where appropriate.
Finishing salt is easiest to judge after the food is cooked. Start with a small pinch over one serving and taste for both flavor and texture. For a recipe that calls for a precise amount of another salt, use the salt specified in the recipe and season at the table if desired.
For more background, see the FDA’s guide to reading food labels.
Keep the jar closed in a cool, dry cupboard, away from heat and steam. Measure with a clean, dry spoon and follow the best-by guidance on the package. If you set a small bowl of salt out for a meal, keep it separate from the rest of the jar.
