Sea Star Sea Salt is produced 100% from the purest sea in the world: the Sea of Brittany in France.
Once a year it is raked and harvested by hand, (as it has been for centuries), when the climate is exactly right for gentle drying by the sun and wind. It is naturally evaporated, retaining all the natural iodine, minerals and trace elements. It is not a processed chemical; nothing is added during its production.
Why Sea Star Sea Salt?
- Sea Star is organic. It is born from the cleanest ocean in the world, and crystallizes below the water's surface in the Nature Reserve in La Baule, Brittany, France. It has the highest organic rating of any sea salt, “Nature & Progres.” The flavor is superb. No other sea salt can compete with the pristine flavor of our sea salts from this special “salt vineyard.”
- Sea Star is rare. This small company is locally-owned in St. Helena, California and sources their sea salt from a family of salt farmers in Brittany, France. Together they have held the highest standards for doing things the old fashioned way, by hand. Sea Star is not processed in any way. They work with the seasons to sculpt the salt beds of clay in the winter, let in the pristine Atlantic water in the spring, harvest in the summer, and let the land rest in the autumn.
- Sea Star is a whole food. Not a processed chemical. It has 84 naturally occurring minerals and trace elements, shown by the delicate color. Our salt is light grey, and not polluted by the harsh harvesting methods practiced by commercial salt miners.
- Sea Star is hot! Sea salt is the single most important ingredient in the kitchen. It affects every food's flavor, so why not use the best? Because Sea Star Sea Salts do not have other seasonings or ingredients, they can be used in all cuisines to bring out the foods natural best qualities!
