{"product_id":"keltiko-alati-granule-gallias","title":"Celtic Salt Granules France","description":"\u003cp\u003eCeltic Granule Salt from France — known in French as \u003cem\u003eGros Sel de Guérande\u003c\/em\u003e — is one of Europe's most recognizable sea salts. It has a grayish-beige color due to the natural presence of clay and trace elements from the salt marshes' seabed, coarse grains with a noticeable moist texture, and an ocean aroma. It is not just salt — it is the result of a millennia-old tradition of artisanal harvesting that preserves every natural element of seawater intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe salt we use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe use coarse Gros Sel grains from the Guérande salt marshes, harvested with a traditional wooden tool (ladoir) by the \u003cem\u003epaludiers\u003c\/em\u003e — the skilled salt farmers of the region. The salt is raw, without additives or chemical processing, and retains its natural moisture. The grains are quite large — ideal for a salt mill, boiling water, and marinades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHistorical identity\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Guérande salt marshes in Brittany, France, have been operating since the 9th century AD — over 1,000 years of uninterrupted production. The term \"Celtic\" refers to the Celtic origin of the first inhabitants of Brittany who developed these techniques. Today, the salt marshes are a UNESCO biosphere natural reserve, and their salt is produced with the same handcrafted methods as centuries ago. Its gray color is not a flaw — it is the natural hue from the clay of the salt marsh seabed, rich in trace elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAroma, color, and taste\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGrayish-beige color with a noticeable moist texture. Its aroma is distinctly marine — seaweed, iodine, ocean. The taste is rich and complex: rounded saltiness without harsh edges, with a slight sweetness and metallic depth that common table salt lacks. It dissolves slowly, leaving an intense, controlled saltiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePrimarily as a \u003cstrong\u003ecooking salt\u003c\/strong\u003e — added to water for boiling pasta, vegetables, and legumes. It is also excellent for \u003cstrong\u003esalt crusting\u003c\/strong\u003e fish and meats in the oven, as well as for \u003cstrong\u003emarinades\u003c\/strong\u003e and brines.

The grains are not uniform, which is a sign of natural, handmade production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStorage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStore in a cool, dark place, in an airtight container.
