HAND HARVESTED CELTIC SEA SALT
Celtic salt, honestly explained.
Grey, damp, unrefined sea salt raked by hand from clay ponds on the French Atlantic coast. We explain where it really comes from, why it looks like that, and what genuinely differs from the salt in your cupboard — including the bits the category usually skips.

The range

Salt of the Earth
Celtic Sea Salt — Fine
The coarse salt slowly dried and stone milled. Dissolves readily, so it works at the table and in baking.

Salt of the Earth
Celtic Sea Salt — Pre-Dried Coarse
Coarse salt dried at low temperature, so it runs more freely than the standard coarse grade.

The plain version
01
Made in ponds, not plants
Seawater concentrated by sun and wind through clay-lined basins, raked by hand with wooden tools. No washing, no recrystallising, no additives.
02
The grey is clay
It picks up fine clay sediment from the floor of the crystallising pond. That is the actual mechanism, and it is more interesting than the version the labels usually give you.
03
We will not sell you the mineral story
The trace minerals are real and nutritionally trivial at the amount anyone sensibly eats. Buy it for how it cooks and how it is made. That is enough.
WORTH KNOWING
Sea salt is not an iodine source
If you have swapped iodised table salt for an unrefined one and you do not eat much bread, you may have removed both of your main iodine sources at once. Nobody selling salt mentions this. We would rather you knew.
