A blend of our boreal herbs: young shoots of balsam fir, white spruce and cedar, all enhanced with gray sea salt.

Ideal for cooking game, lamb, wild mushrooms, poultry, fish, vegetables, etc. The aroma of the young shoots of conifers goes well with that of citrus fruits, which makes it an interesting ingredient to marry with lemon, orange in desserts. Excellent as a finish on a carpaccio or a red meat or wild meat tartare. Delicious on popcorn!

Taste: resinous, sweet and full-bodied, salty.

Quantity

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

☞ 100% natural
☞ 100% of plants from fair and organic farming
☞ 75% local
☞ Shelf life: 3 years
☞ 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).
