Salish, by Artisan, is a fine grain organic sea salt that is naturally cold smoked over real Northwest red alderwood to give a clean, natural smoky flavor. No artificial flavors, colors or liquid smoke is used to create this 100% natural, beautiful salt.

Salish refers to a cultural or ethnographic designation of a subgroup of the First Nations or Native American cultures in British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon who speak one of the Coast Salish languages. As the first inhabitants of the Pacific Northwest, they have used the red alderwood of the Northwest to smoke meats and salmon for hundreds of years. We are proud to be able to bring to you this salt, created in the ancient Northwest smoking tradition.

Salish gives food a genuine smokehouse taste on or off the BBQ.

The ultimate for cooking fish, chicken, or steak. We love it on salmon, creamy pasta dishes and it is great in soups!

• All Natural.
• Handcrafted in the USA.
• Perfect for Alderwood Smoked Salt Caramels

In Brittany, France near the town of Guèrande there are marshes and low-lying areas that have been salt fields for centuries because of a mini-climate that is much milder than the rest of the surrounding area. In this unique location the currents of the Atlantic run cleaner than in many of the other salt harvesting regions of France. As a result, Guèrande has no peer in France for the quality of salt produced. It is simply the best.

The salt fields of Guèrande are long and narrow so that an artisan paludier (craftsman salt harvester) like Gilles Hervy can "sweep" the crystallized top of the evaporating sea water to harvest the precious Fleur de Sel de Guèrande. On warm, breezy afternoons (i.e. when there is no rain) a single day's evaporation of salt crust on top of the salt ponds is harvested as the Fleur de Sel, the least salty, purest part of the saline. What remains and crystallizes throughout the season is the Sel Gris. The harvest ("forming") is usually from May to September. For every 80 pounds of Sel Gris produced, there is one pound of Fleur de Sel that is harvested.

Fleur de Sel is an all-natural sea salt from Brittany, France. It is unprocessed, unrefined, and unadulterated. It does not contain anti-caking or anti-flowing agents. It is known as the "Caviar of Salts".

• It is wonderful in these Caramel-Dark Chocolate Truffles with Fleur de Sel and in these Salted Pumpkin Caramels
• We love using the Fleur de Sel with our Vera Cruz Vanilla to make Salted Caramel Almond Thumbprint Cookies

Hand-harvested ("raked and gathered") during the summer season, Esprit du Sel grey salt contains 1-3% clay, which gives the crystals a warm pewter color and earthy flavor. This natural salt is not treated or washed and thus it retains the beneficial trace elements such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, copper, iron, zinc and iodine. Sel Gris is an everyday table salt at French bistros and in modern kitchens. Use this rugged textured, briny salt for all your cooking needs. It is great as a base for rubs as its coarse, large grains work their way into the meat and add flavor.

14.3 ounce jar
