Origin: The Isle of Noirmoutier, located in the Bay of Biscay in the Vendee region of France, is famous for its pristine sea salt. The island's unique climate and geography, with its sunny, almost tropical weather and gentle dry winds, create ideal conditions for producing high-quality sea salt. The island's history of salt harvesting dates back to medieval times when black-robed monks first began using Celtic methods to collect salt.
Traditional Process: Atlantic waters flow into Noirmoutier's sun-baked clay pools, where two days of evaporation from sun and wind create large, coarse crystals called 'sel gros.' These crystals, light gray from the clay, are harvested by the 'saunier' (salt harvester) using long rakes. The saunier draws the crystals to one side of the pool, collecting small amounts every two days. The harvested salt is then dried and stone-ground to produce Eden Sea Salt, preserving the salt's natural trace elements and purity.
Certified Quality: Eden Sea Salt is certified by ACTOA (L'Association de Controle Tiers Ouest Atlantique), 'Selection du Saunier,' ensuring that the salt is harvested in a pure, unpolluted environment suitable for organic agriculture. This certification guarantees that Eden Sea Salt meets the highest standards of quality and purity.
