Unlike refined table salt, Marais Salt is 100% natural and unrefined. It’s hand harvested using traditional methods, naturally sun-dried, and retains over 80 trace minerals that are stripped away during industrial processing. No anti-caking agents, no bleaching chemicals, no additives just pure sea salt.
Where does Marais Sea Salt come from?
Our salts are hand-harvested from three of the world’s finest salt-producing regions: Celtic Sea Salt from Guérande, France; Baja Sea Salt from the Sea of Cortez, Baja California, Mexico; and Fleur de Sel from Camargue, France.

Yes. All Marais Salt products are Non GMO, Gluten Free, and Vegan friendly.
Fine Grain salt dissolves quickly and is ideal for everyday cooking, baking, sauces, and beverages. Natural Grain has larger crystals, better suited for grilling, roasting, and finishing dishes, or use in salt grinders.
Fleur de Sel (“flower of salt”) is the rarest and most delicate salt we offer. It forms naturally on the surface of the water under perfect wind and sun conditions and is hand-skimmed before it sinks. Its light, flaky crystals make it a finishing salt best sprinkled on top of a dish just before serving, rather than used in cooking.
Fleur de Sel is best used as a finishing touch sprinkled over steaks, seafood, salads, roasted vegetables, artisan bread, cheese, or even chocolate and caramel desserts. It’s not intended for cooking, as its delicate crystals are best appreciated when added right before eating.
Yes. Our Baja Sea Salt (Fine or Natural Grain) and Celtic Sea Salt are great for everyday cooking, baking, soups, and sauces. Fleur de Sel is best reserved for finishing dishes rather than general cooking.
