Let the ocean in.
The tide feeds a chain of shallow pools. Sun and wind slowly turn seawater into brine. We follow the weather, not the clock.
Lenn. Salt, sea & time.
A small harvest.
A wide Atlantic.
A wide Atlantic.
Sea salt, gathered by hand
on the marshes of Guérande.
Nothing added.
Only sea, wind & time.
A harvest, not
a manufacture.
Skim the surface.
On still afternoons, fine crystals bloom on the water. We lift this fleur de sel with a light touch, before it sinks.
Rake the clay.
Below, larger crystals settle on the clay. A long wooden rake draws them to the bank. Two pairs of hands, one summer harvest.
From the first warm days to the end of summer.
The salt pans, at high waterDrawn from the marsh
Three salts.
One patch of sea.
Unwashed. Unrefined. Just drained, dried and put in a tin. The differences are in the crystals.
Fleur de sel
125 gDelicate flakes, lifted from the surface. A soft crunch that melts on the tongue.
Finish tomatoes, butter, dark chocolate.
Gros sel
500 gLarge, grey crystals, still a little damp. The everyday salt of a good kitchen.
Salt pasta water, roast fish, cure vegetables.
Sel fin
250 gOur grey salt, gently dried and ground. All the mineral depth, in a finer grain.
Season eggs, dress salads, bake bread.
A little variation in colour and grain is part of a salt made by the weather. Keep your tin; refill it next season.

Come at the
marsh’s pace.
