This is true sea salt, the best I've ever used. Don't be fooled by negative reviews
I have read numerous customer complaints about the salt being slightly wet. However, what many people don’t realize is that this type of salt is naturally a bit moist. It is true sea salt, containing unrefined minerals that contribute to its slightly damp texture. These minerals include magnesium, known as Epsom salt in very small amounts, which are actually beneficial for your digestive system.Additionally, this salt offers an exceptional taste. It has a rich, robust flavor that enhances the natural qualities of fruits, vegetables, and meats while also providing health benefits. Contrary to some goofy reviews claiming there is sand in the salt, this is simply not true. There is no sand; only the rich minerals produced by true rock salt.You will love the taste, which is why so many restaurants choose to use it. It has a slight buttery flavor that elevates flavors in meals. I encourage you to try it—you'll like it!

Clean, Mineral-Rich Salt I Use Daily for Electrolytes
I’ve been using this salt daily in my water for electrolytes, and it’s a fantastic, natural way to get in trace minerals without any additives or processing. It’s unrefined, hand-harvested, and you can really taste the difference compared to regular table salt. The coarse texture dissolves nicely with a quick stir or shake, and I also use it occasionally for cooking or seasoning when I want to keep things clean and mineral-rich. I love that it’s a traditional French sel gris—makes me feel like I’m choosing something that’s both high quality and rooted in time-tested harvesting methods. Highly recommend for anyone looking to support hydration naturally or just add a better salt to their kitchen. It is course so they its much bigger than table salt.

The Real Deal – Gourmet Salt Worth Every Grain
This grey sea salt is the kind of seasoning that elevates everything it touches. The flavor is rich, earthy, and far more complex than regular table salt. You can actually taste the minerals—and that’s not something you get with overly processed salts. I use it on roasted veggies, steak, even in my sourdough bread. The texture is beautiful too—chunky but not hard to work with. Hand-harvested and unrefined? You can tell. This is artisan salt done right.

Tasty salt, but not great for salt grinder
The salt tastes good, but the bag is received was difficult to reseal and the salt inside was very moist. Would not recommend trying to use in a salt grinder with the moisture level of this salt.
