All salt is the by-product of evaporation, either in salt mines or in the sea. The colour and texture of salt depend on the type of salt deposit and the way the crystals are processed during evaporation. Salts can also have varying levels of other minerals, which are naturally present in the deposits. Different textures can lead to different levels of “saltiness” and will affect the flavour and consistency of your food. Different colours add visual impact to a dish.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2018-03-24T06:47:36-06:00","sort_order":"alpha-asc","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"type","relation":"equals","condition":"Salts"},{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"Salts"}],"published_scope":"global","image":{"created_at":"2018-03-26T14:21:52-06:00","alt":"","width":1600,"height":1600,"src":"\/\/silkroadspices.ca\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/Specialty_Salts_collection.jpg?v=1522095712"}}]

Grey sea salt (sometimes called Celtic sea salt) is a slightly moist, unrefined sea salt produced in the coastal regions of France. It is harvested from the Atlantic Ocean by hand using wooden rakes in the traditional Celtic method. It has a light grey, almost blueish colour and a complex flavour due to the presence of small amounts of clay and minerals that it naturally retains from the sea water.
Grey sea salt is becoming a popular finishing salt for dishes of all kinds, including sweets. It’s not uncommon to find it paired with chocolate and caramel in fancy dessert cafés.
