We are Gilles Morel (uncle) and Matthieu Le Chantoux (nephew), independent Paludiers Producteurs-Récoltants. We are based in the Guérande salt marshes, our salt pans are in the municipality of Assérac and our workshop is in St-Molf. The salt and fleur de sel de Guérande that we offer you are the tender fruit of the ocean, the sun, the wind and the ancestral know-how of the salt workers and are harvested by hand. Our fleur de sel, gently plucked from the water's surface, and our gros sel are unwashed and untreated and drip naturally onto our salt pans. As independent salt farmers, we pay particular attention to the quality of our products, which do not undergo any mechanization to preserve the structure and taste of a natural salt.
The Fleur de Sel de Guérande, which we gently pick from the surface of our clay tanks every summer, is the object of all the picker's attention. The fleur de sel's whiteness and quality depend on the precision of its gesture. It consists of fine white crystals and is only produced in small quantities. Since the crystals are not ground or washed, they retain their natural wealth of trace elements. The incomparable taste of the Fleur de Sel de Guérande and its smoothness are particularly appreciated by gourmets and star chefs.
