I first heard about this sea salt in the book, "Real Food", by Nina Planck, who touted its health benefits and delicious taste. Unlike most salts available today -- including gourmet sea salts, kosher salts, and table salts -- Celtic Sea Salt is hand-harvested, unprocessed, and unrefined in Brittany using centuries-old techniques. This means it retains its original natural minerals, the absence of which in today's diet can contribute to a range of health problems.
So fine, it's good for you. But how does it taste? As a regular user of expensive sea salts (purchased in gourmet food stoes, Whole Foods, etc.) before finding this one, I can say it is by far the best tasting one on the market. It actually has a delicious stand-alone flavor and tastes less metallic than other sea salts I've purchased and more like authentic salt should. I purchased some at Whole Foods and kept it out in a salt cellar on our table. It quickly became the only salt we use, both to season our food at the table as well as in a wide range of recipes. Now I buy it in bulk via Amazon, which offers a better price per ounce than the small jars sold at Whole Foods.

Amazon Verified Purchase
This unprocessed sea salt has much more than just sodium chloride in it. There are dozens of trace minerals in it making it much healthier for you. It is coarse, so just a little pinch sprinkled into your cooking or table food will do it. The taste is strong and goes a long way, but is SSOOO much better than normal table salt. If you want it fine, you can grind it in peppercorn grinder or buy the fine ground for a little more money.

This salt is only $5.00 from the manufacturer's website, celticseasalt . c o m , further more this website and this manufacturer is highly deceptive, and it is obvious by the comments on this website. all modern sea salt has significantly less trace minerals than ancient himalayan sea salt. the manufacturer provides a graph that seems to indicate this salt has more than 3 times the trace minerals, when all they are really comparing is the moisture content. you are paying for about 12% water when you buy this product by weight, which is about 3 times the amount of water in himalayan salt.
Himalayan salt forms an alkaline solution in water, due to its higher trace mineral content, while all modern sea salt forms acidic solutions. this salt does have a decent flavor, which i find goes well with fish, but for all other cooking, himalayan salt is both tastier and healthier. a lot of reviewers have been duped by the spurious and misleading information on the manufacturers website. this salt has a significantly lower ratio of trace minerals to sodium than himalayan salt.
Finally, the mercury and other heavy metal content in modern sea salt is much higher than in himalayan salt. harvesting "deep water" which protects against many organic pollutants that float like gasoline in a street puddle, does nothing to prevent the increased levels of mercury, cadmium, arsenic and other heavy metals from getting into the salt.

great product
This sea salt is very good quality and the coarse grind is fine. I think I would like it better if it were a little more fine but still retained all the minerals.
