Independent Salt Harvester ( Paludiers)
Région Loire Atlantique
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.
Guérande Sea Salt Marshes, Mès bassin
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”).
Salt Harvest using Ancestral Methods
Coarse Sea Salt and Flower of Salt are completely natural, delicate products created with a unique combination of ancestral knowhow and natural elements; the wind, the sun and the ocean during the summer season.
Pure and natural. Our Salts are all harvested manually, retaining many essential natural trace elements.
