The salt of life and of the Ile de Ré!

The Sauniers of the Ile de Ré harvest the precious white gold of our coasts, with application, know-how and a lot of patience. Offering salt of this quality means offering your loved ones the chance to discover a product that will change the flavor of their dishes. Salt, as harmless as it may seem, is a flavor enhancer, when it is of such good quality, it sublimates dishes, enhances meats, gives a new perspective to the taste of soups. Flavored salts are perfect for summer grilling and to brighten up winter dishes.
