Celtic Sea Salt
A tier
Celtic sea salt brands grey, moist Atlantic salt in the sel gris tradition—often from Brittany—with mineral complexity and soft crystals that stay slightly damp. Flavour is round and less sharp than kiln-dried table salt. Cook vegetables, season doughs, and finish rustic plates. A natural-food default whole salt with loyal following.
