Maison Orphée launches New Grey Sea Salts from Noirmoutier Island, France.

When sea salt immerses you in a world of flavour…Once seawater has evaporated through the combined action of the wind and sun, grey sea salt is collected from the clay-bottom pans found in salt marshes. An essential condiment, its authentic taste has the ability to refine every dish, while maintaining the utmost respect for cultural and culinary sensibilities.

Maison Orphée Sea Salts are harvested in the salt marshes of Noirmoutier, on the French Atlantic Coast. Salt workers have continued the over-hundred year long tradition of hand-harvesting the finest quality salts. They are then simply drained and left to dry in the sun and in the wind. Rigorous tests confirm its authenticity, as well as its quality. Maison Orphée sea salts are collected by hand, keeping with traditional agricultural methods, and never contain any additives.

Sea salt is rich in minerals and trace elements, making it an essential condiment in the kitchen as well as an important part of a healthy, balanced diet.

Fleur de sel

Fleur de sel crystallizes on the surface of salt marshes during hot summer days. Paludiers (salt harvesters) collect it manually and leave it to dry under the sun before it is packaged. Its unique flavour and delicate crunch make a great finishing touch on vegetables, grilled meat, fish, tomatoes and more. Enjoy its crunchy bite and delicate taste.

Fine Grey Sea Salt

Fine Grey Sea Salt is obtained through seawater concentration in the clay-bottom pans of salt marshes. The salt is then simply dried and finely ground. A perfect condiment for everyday seasoning.

Coarse Grey Sea Salt

Coarse Grey Sea Salt owes its colour to the clay-bottom pans of salt marshes from which it is harvested after the evaporation of seawater by the combined action of the wind and sun. Extremely soluble, coarse grey sea salt is an essential condiment in cooked food preparation. Use to enhance the flavour of roasts, slow cooked recipes, pasta and fish.

Herbes de Provence Sea Salt

Grey Sea Salt is collected in salt marshes, dried and ground. Herbes de Provence are then added to it to make this delicious condiment that is great on grilled fish, meat, pasta, vegetables and rice.

Aromatic Herbs Sea Salt

Grey Sea Salt is collected in salt marshes, dried and ground. A selection of aromatic herbs is then added to the ground salt to make this flavourful condiment. Use on fish, vegetables and French fries.
