FRENCH SEA SALTS
ARTISANAL HARVESTING
We are a new online spice shop brought to you by Adagio Teas. Over the past few months we have been engaged in gathering an assortment of spices using the same dedication and care with which we’ve curated our online tea collection. With our decades of experience sourcing products and establishing global connections our mission is to bring you fresher, higher-quality spices and seasonings at lower prices.
While we continue to ramp up our offerings we invite you to try some of our current favorite flavors: our whole and ground chiles, our cumin, cardamom, and of course our french salts.

coarse grain
This artisanal dried coarse grain French grey salt is rich in minerals and is tinged grey from the clay bottom of the tidal pools from which it is harvested. Briny and flavorful, but softer on the palate than commercial salts.

A natural flavor enhancer that adds crunchy texture and visual appeal. Fleur de Sel is a finishing salt—sprinkle these gourmet flakes on your dishes just before serving.
MORE ABOUT FRENCH SEA SALT
Our French sea salts are unique to Brittany. There, shimmering pools lined with rows of mulons (mounds of harvested salt) scatter sunlight into a mosaic of blue, green and pink shards of light that give the medieval town mystical appeal at dawn and dusk, and the paludiers who sustain them recognition as ancestral guardians and skilled artisans. Replace your table salt with our fine grain French Grey salt and your cooking salt with our coarse grain French Grey Salt. Make an every-day dish something special and add crystallized flakes of Fleur de Sel just before serving. Here’s a few recipes to get you started:
