About Salt from Guérande

Guérande salt is a regional sea salt from the salt marshes around Guérande in western France. It is harvested from seawater in salt pans and is commonly sold as coarse crystals or as finer-ground salt; fleur de sel is a distinct surface-harvested form rather than a synonym for every Guérande salt.

It is used to season food during cooking or at the table. Coarse crystals are crunchy before dissolving, while fine grains disperse more readily. Appearance and texture vary with the product and processing, so a regional name alone does not identify a specific grade or whether it has been refined.
