French Grey Sea Salt 2 lb Bag - Fine Grain (Sel Gris) from Guérande France - All-Natural, Kosher Gourmet Sea Salt for Cooking, Seasoning & Grilling

We've been buying this S.F. Salt Co. French Grey coarse ground salt for years and absolutely love it. Per the bag label, it's a product of France. The keys to remember here is that this is (1) coarse grain salt and (2) it does tend to be a little wet/sticky. So, if you're going to use it in a salt grinder (like we do every day), you'll want to dry it first. We dry about half the 2 lb bag at a time, typically 225 for about 30 min in our countertop convection toaster oven and then once cooled, place it in a sealable mason type jar with a desiccant...from there, we fill our salt grinder as needed. The ingredient list is "Salt" and that's it. No iodine, and likely no "significant" amount of caking agent(s). The FDA says if it's an "incidental" amount, it's not required to be labeled, otherwise, it does. In this case, since it is a bit moist, it's likely there is nothing else in the bag aside from the natural salt from France. The most recent bag we went through (bought last summer, 2025), had an expiration date of February 28, 2029, so roughly 4 & 1/2 years for that one. However, it's salt, so it could conceivably last "forever." Although, freshness is another story. Absolutely the best sea salt we've ever had. Highly recommended!

Love the flavor and crunch of the course salt. I had it at a friend's dinner party and have been purchasing it for our home ever since.

Best salt for breadmaking! I won’t use anything else. My sister is just beginning her breadmaking journey. I sent this to her. Ant let her make bread without the best ingredients! Excellent taste and quality.

I used to think salt was salt when I first started cooking, but over the years I've learned that's not the case. Natural sea salts have a really nice balanced flavor so that even overly-salted foods don't have that bitterness we normally associate with regular iodized table salt, and this grey salt is one of the best I've tasted. After I opened the bag I tried a little, I (much to my shame) can't stop grabbing a pinch here and there just to taste by itself. This is a really nice, moist salt that tastes wonderful on everything, from fish and poultry to beef, to bread, and even desserts. I like that the bag is resealable and very durable so I don't have to worry about finding a way to burn through five pounds of salt before my clumsy self dumps the whole thing out onto the pantry floor. The fine grind of salt is indeed finely ground, with a smaller grain than even typical table salt. I don't know how large the grains of coarse salt are, so if I could offer some advice to the seller, please add a comparison point in the pictures to give us an idea of how large the grains are, like a ruler, a pea, or even someone's palm. I like a medium texture, like kosher salt, so I wish there was a happy medium offered. Other than that, though, darn good product.

I use natural sea salt from France in all my cooking and baking where salt is called for. I have tried and tested many sea salts for various merchants and fine products can be found from several suppliers. I like this one from the San Francisco Salt Company for its flavor, grain size and, very importantly, price and quantity. I have observed with dismay how natural salt prices have risen and how small packaging has sometimes become. Not so with this item...or at least not outrageously so. This makes a good 'finishing' salt and also dissolves well in other applications. I continue to reorder it.

Excellent product. 2nd time ordering. I get the course grain and grind it myself. Lasts a long time. Delicious mild Grey sea salt.

Awesome

Both my daughter and I love this salt! I was freaked out cause it looked wet. Realizing after it is supposed to be that way. It is our go too plus a little goes a long way!! Will never buy another salt.

Excellent salt for finishing a nice cast iron steak. Keeps a good crunch, too! Comes in a resealable bag.

This product is mostly water and the bag is very small. Very unhappy with this product.
