Celtic Sea Salt® isn’t just another seasoning—it’s a natural, mineral-rich salt that brings both flavor and wellness to your daily life. Since 1976, when Jacques Delangre began harvesting salt from ancient sea beds from local farmers around the world, Celtic Sea Salt® has stayed true to its artisanal roots: unrefined, free of chemical additives, and hand-harvested from pristine waters.

Whether you’re a chef looking to elevate your dishes or a wellness enthusiast seeking natural electrolytes, Celtic Sea Salt®  has a place in your kitchen and your lifestyle.

 

Why Choose Celtic Sea Salt®?

  • Full spectrum mineral salt: More than 70 trace minerals and elements naturally present.
  • Naturally lower in sodium: As low as 80% NaCl compared to 98%+ in table salt.
  • Electrolyte support: Helps with hydration, energy, and recovery (see: draxe.com).
  • Artisanal process: Harvested by hand with centuries-old methods in France, Spain, Portugal, Guatemala, Mexico, and Hawaii.

 

How to Use Celtic Sea Salt®

  1. For Hydration: A pinch of Celtic Sea Salt® in water can help replenish electrolytes before or after a workout. Many health professionals recommend it as part of a natural hydration routine.
  2. In Everyday Cooking: Use Celtic Sea Salt® in place of table salt to season soups, vegetables, meats, and grains. The mineral complexity enhances flavor and requires less salt overall for the same taste impact.
  3. As a Finishing Touch: Sprinkle Celtic Sea Salt® crystals on grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or chocolate desserts to add a gourmet crunch and elevate presentation.
  4. Baking & Fermentation: Fine-ground varieties mix easily into doughs, batters, and pickling solutions, supporting fermentation naturally without chemical additives.
  5. Wellness & Skin: Some use Celtic Sea Salt® in baths or scrubs for relaxation and skin nourishment. While more research is needed, many wellness practitioners highlight its role in mineral replenishment.

 

Product Categories

Here’s a quick guide to the Celtic Sea Salt® family:

  • Light Grey Celtic® – Moist, mineral-rich crystals hand-harvested. The original and most iconic salt. Best for all-purpose use.
  • Celtic Fine Ground ™ – A dry, finely ground version of Light Grey Celtic®. Ideal for baking and everyday seasoning when you need a smoother texture.
  • Celtic Kosher – Larger, airy crystals perfect for koshering meats, seasoning roasts, or adding crunch. Comparable in use to Diamond Crystal®, but with natural trace minerals thanks to a unique washing process in natural seawater.
  • Fleur de Sel – The delicate “flower of salt” skimmed from the surface during harvest. A gourmet finishing salt prized by chefs.
  • Makai Pure® – Harvested from deep Hawaiian waters, rich in naturally occurring magnesium and trace elements. A premium option for both wellness and culinary use.

 

Tips for Getting the Most Out of Celtic Sea Salt®

  • Store in an airtight container if you prefer drier salt—its natural moisture is a sign of authenticity.
  • Use fine ground for recipes where texture matters (baking, doughs) and coarse or grey salts where crunch and visual appeal are desired.
  • Experiment with pairing: try Light Grey Celtic® on roasted vegetables, Fleur de Sel on chocolate truffles, and Makai Pure® in post-workout hydration water.
