I bought this salt on a lark because I didn't want to drive 40 miles to the nearest store that carried natural sea salt but I will buy it again. The flavor is wonderful. I'm not a big salt eater, never have been, just don't like the taste of commercial salt but this sea salt is wonderful. I real winner that enhances the flavor of food instead of covering it up as regular salt does.

I bought this salt after listening to a podcast of the Splendid Table with a man named Mark Bitterman. Yes, Bitterman (not Bittman). He wrote an entire book on salt Salted: A Manifesto on the World's Most Essential Mineral, with Recipes and recommended this salt as an everyday "table salt" alternative. It may not be the most appealing color, but it was what I would expect of a product called "Gray Sea Salt" (or Sel Gris, if you know some French).
As someone who has thus far in life considered Kosher Salt the "fancy" alternative, I now know where I will continually spend a little extra for a lot more. I've put this on everything, from roasted chicken to potato soup. If you rub together your fingers as you sprinkle, you can make a fine coating, but it's perfect in soups because it has such a high-moisture content that it sticks to its own bag. If you are a die-hard iodized table salt fan, this is not the salt for you. It tastes and looks substantially different from your everyday grocery-store salt, and behaves very differently when used in cooking. If you are baking, and the recipe calls for "salt," you may want to taste before you stick it in the oven, and start small, and add as you taste. The moisture content may also alter certain more sensitive recipes, so you it's best to plan ahead if you wish to experiment.
The flavor difference is truly indescribable. I think I would prefer to use this in savory dishes, as that is the flavor palette it gave me, but it may also work well in desserts or on fruits that like salt.
I encourage you to do a taste test as soon as you get it home against your regular table salt. You will immediately thank me, other enthusiastic reviewers, Guérande, France, and the Bay of Biscay.

The granules are larger than Kosher salt so when I sprinkled it on a salad, I got these intermittent explosions of salt - very nice. I don't use it in cooked dishes [common salt will do], just a sprinkle on whatever needs to have fresh salt. I approve of the extra minerals also. Amazon's price is far cheaper than what Food Network entertainers are asking on their websites.

Great salt!
I love ground sea salt, and this stuff just tastes better than most. Better than the stuff I get at the store!

Delicious
We just tried it and are very happy with the taste. It beats all the plain white salts we use.

Wet and unappealing color
I bought this to go along with a new fine salt grinder. The salt is wet and clumps and does not work in the grinder. The color is also very appealing - looks dirty not 34 gray. Read more

Not as coarse as I would've liked
I was looking for something for my salt grinder, and this is more a finishing salt, but the flavor is good.

Good tasting!
However when i received the salt it was moist and did not work well with my unicorn salt mill because of the moisture content causing it to clump up and stick.

Coarse Gray Sea Salt from Guerande
This sea salt did not work well in the MIU Salt Mill. No matter how I adjusted the mill, the salt 'stuck' and clogged up the mill grinder. Read more

UUMMM GOOD
This was added to the salt crock that was purchased as a gift. They love the sea salt. It is different from the salt that we have here.
