“We are Gilles Morel, Matthieu Le Chantoux, Alexandre Moret and Hugues Martienau and we own and manage an independent family business harvesting and preparing Guerande Sea Salts.
Our salt marshes are situated in the world famous Guérande basin,(close to the city of Nantes) more specifically in the beautiful Mès basin near Asserac.This is where we manually and naturally harness nature’s energies to produce Sea Salt ( Sel Gris Marin : Coarse Sea Salt and Fleur de Sel literraly “Flower of Salt.”
The Guérande Sea Salt harvested by L’Atelier du Sel, under the Protected Geographical Indication and it’s Organic receipes, is reknowned in France and worldwide: Belgium, Canada, USA, Japan… It is for a reason…
After a few years of research we can now offer you Fine Dry Guerande Sea salt ! We manage this by carefully siffting our Salt and then placing into our SOLAR oven for a few days or weekds ( depending on the weather) to dry. This greatly reduces our carbon footprint and allows us to offer you natural dry sea salt.
All the Sea salt that we harvest are full of trace elements that are good for our health. We trust that our Fleur de Sel, Sea salt and Aromatic salts will bring pleasure to your taste buds.
We minimuse our carbon footprint when harvesting Sea Salt, but we also try to do the same with our products, that is why we have a Recyclabke Kraft Salt Shaker with a corn starn biodegradable lid.
Thanks to our Solar Oven and the solar panels installed on the roof of our workshop . We can use a renewable energy to dry our salt in order to grind it and improve it's quality in the size of it's crystals.
