What is the of coarse salt harvesting by the cooperative?
Coarse salt is harvested every day in summer, when the mild weather combines wind and sun on the Guérande peninsula. In the late afternoon, under the effect of evaporation, the salt concentrates until it reaches 250 g/l, causing it to crystallize and deposit on the “agile des œillets”.
The salt worker then pushes the salt to the edge of the basin using a las, a wooden tool with a very long handle. He then pulls it onto the ladure, a round clay platform where the salt will drain overnight. The next day, the salt worker takes the 60 kg of salt per eyelet in a wooden wheelbarrow to the salt works' main salt store: the mulon.
Gestures and uses of coarse Guérande salt
How to use it properly
The art of using salt is a simple matter of choice. While salt is an essential part of our diet, each salt has its own specific uses.
Like all Le Guérandais salts, traditional coarse sea salt is naturally grey and unwashed, unrefined and additive-free. A salt grown in the pure tradition of a land with a strong history.
Unlike fine salt and fleur de sel, coarse salt is favored for use in cooking water, salt-crusted cooking, court-bouillons and grilled meats, where it sublimates flavors brilliantly.
