3. WHAT IS GREY SEA SALT! Taken from: http://www.saltworks.us/salt_info/si_gourmet_reference.asp#.Ui5aQdLBOSo Grey salt is a "moist" unrefined sea salt, usually found in the Brittany region of France's Atlantic coast. Its natural light grey color comes from the minerals absorbed from the clay lining the salt ponds. The salt is collected by hand using traditional Celtic methods and wooden tools. Grey salt has gained great fame in the mainstream culinary world in the last few years, and is considered by many to be the best quality salt available. It is available in coarse grain - which is the perfect finishing or pinching size, stone ground fine - ideally used at the table instead of processed salts, and extra fine (Velvet) grain - perfect for sprinkling over nuts or popcorn.
