Wild Garlic Salt from Guérande

Wild Garlic Salt from Guérande – L'Atelier du Sel

The wild garlic salt from l'Atelier du Sel is a French Sel de Guérande PGI from Brittany, enriched with wild garlic, garlic, and shallots. The sea salt from Guérande is carefully harvested by the two independent paludiers Gilles and Matthieu using traditional artisanal methods in the salt pans in the Bay of Aranlec. The profession of paludier is passed down from father to son, thus preserving the knowledge of the art of salt harvesting, so it's no surprise that Gilles and Matthieu are uncle and nephew.

Before the Sel Marin Gris, the grey sea salt, is flavored with wild garlic, it is dried further using an innovation, a solar dryer, in addition to the natural drying that has already taken place. Not completely, but so that a certain natural moisture is retained. They selected dried wild garlic, but granulated garlic and shallots for their aromatic wild garlic salt.

The wild garlic salt refines the taste of your dishes with delicate garlic aromas. It goes well with gratins, risottos, soups, potatoes, polentas, white meat, Mediterranean cuisine, as well as spring cuisine.

L'Atelier du Sel – Sel de Guérande a l'ail des ours

The Sel Gris Marin de Guérande, coarse sea salt, which is harvested every summer in the basins of the L'Atelier du Sel saltworks according to ancient tradition, is created by the interplay of sun and wind and the artisanal work of the paludier.

Unlike refined industrial salts, Guérande salt is neither washed nor chemically treated and is free of additives (fluorine, nitrite, iodine, pouring or separating agents). The Guérande salt from l'Atelier du Sel dries naturally in the sun, so it contains magnesium and other trace elements. It is easily distinguished by its floral scent, its geometric crystals with angular shapes, and is the basis for this flavored Sel de Guérande sea salt.

The Sel de Guérande from L'Atelier du Sel is a protected designation of origin salt and bears the blue and yellow official seal. The special taste of Sel de Guérande a l'ail des ours and the wild garlic salt is appreciated by gourmets.
