Sel de l'Ile de Ré

Sel de l’Île de Ré, and its premium counterpart, fleur de sel de l’Île de Ré', is salt harvested using traditional, centuries-old techniques. These salts are known for their unique coloration, from grey to white with possible yellow to red hues, and for their cubic crystal shape.

They are not washed or enriched, preserving their natural characteristics. The production benefits from the island's specific mesoclimate, meaning the evaporation rates are high due to ample sunshine and sea breezes. Because it's hand-harvested, the salt has diverse grain sizes.

The Île de Ré's salt marshes were developed in the 12th century and are integral to the island's landscape and economy.
