French Grey Salt

French Grey Salt—often called sel gris—is a mineral-rich sea salt valued for its clean salinity, subtle earthiness, and moist, coarse texture. At Timbo’s Spice, we use French grey salt when seasoning needs depth and balance rather than sharpness.

Harvested from coastal salt flats, this salt retains natural minerals that give it a soft gray color and a rounded flavor. Its slightly damp crystals dissolve steadily during cooking, making it ideal for building seasoning from the start while still delivering a gentle finish.

This is an everyday cooking salt with character—reliable, flavorful, and well-suited for savory dishes that benefit from layered seasoning.
