NQ French Sea Salt is harvested naturally from the Isle of Noirmoutier, off the coast of Britanny in France, For generations since the time of the Romans, this area has been known to produce some of the best sea salt in the world. The ideal combination of sun, wind, waves and lowland marshes allow the nutrients and trace minerals to saturate into the salt. The paludiers or sea salt farmers use an age old three stage method to harvest this exquisite salt.
