A traditional harvesting method

The tide comes in everyday by the canal (Etier). During the salt-making season, the Paludier lets water flow into the slime-pond (Vasière). Then, the water flows down slowly into the salt-field (Saline) through several ponds dug in the native clay : the cobier , then the fares or adernes.

The action of the sun and the wind warms up the seawater and evaporates it, the salt content rises untill the water has become brine. The later is eventually let to flow into the saltpans (Oeillets), where the salt cristallises to be finally collected.

From June to September, the "paludiers" harvest two sorts of salt :
The coarse salt which is on the bottom of the pan. It is retrieved with the "Las" (a wide rake) and stocked on the "ladure" (small round stocking area). The "Fleur de Sel", small fine white crystals which floats on the surface, is picked up with the "Lousse".

"Le Paludier" collects the harvest, separate the different qualities of salts and pack them into the appropriate packaging. The Guerande Sea Salt is well known worldwide for being one of the finest and is exported to many countries.

Celtic Sea Salt®

Refers to naturally moist salt harvested from the Atlantic seawater off the coast of Brittany, France. This type of salt are harvested using the Celtic method of wooden rakes allowing no metal to touch the salt. It is naturally air and sun-dried in clay ponds and gathered with wooden tools to preserve its living enzymes. Because it is unrefined, it contains all of the 84 beneficial live elements found in sea water, with no chemical and preservatives nor any other additives. Among the live minerals and trace elements found in Celtic sea salt are iodine, iron, calcium, magnesium, manganese, potassium and zinc.
