Boréal salt

Gray sea salt from our farm: white cedar leaves, young shoots of white spruce and balsam fir.

☞ Can be used in all dishes as a finishing salt. Can be used in a salt mill or crushed with a pestle and mortar to obtain a finer flavored salt.

☞ All our salts are created from medicinal plants grown on our farm and carefully selected during our harvests, which are always done by hand. Only the young spring shoots of fir, spruce and cedar are harvested over a period of a few weeks before they are too mature.

☞ The plants are then spread out on grids and inspected a second time before being dried at low temperature (around 35 C) in a dark dryer; thus we preserve all the properties and the delicate taste of each plant. Once dry, the plants are cleaned of their stems and other small unwanted pieces, always by hand; they are then blended, potted and labeled in our processing kitchen and stored in a cool, dark room.

☞ Gray sea salt is the product of water evaporation, caused by the combined effect of sun and wind, in the clay-bottomed basins of salt marshes. The crystals are simply harvested, drained and then sieved. It is a source of minerals (sodium, magnesium, potassium, calcium) and trace elements (iron, manganese, zinc).
