Its gray comes from the earth itself: in the historic salt marshes of Batz-sur-Mer, in Brittany, this unrefined sea salt from Binet 1660 crystallizes directly on the clay floor of the salt pans, harvested according to centuries-old techniques. The Coarse Gray Salt keeps large crystals with a mineral, gently earthy flavor. Toss a handful into the cooking water for pasta or shellfish, or pack it around a whole sea bass before roasting.
