TRUE CONFESSIONS

I took my gray sea salt for granted for years...until I ran out. Then the reality set in—food tasted different, there were no bright flavors to enjoy, no delectable anticipation to look forward to when I took my steak off the grill, no seductive urge to eat all the popcorn in one sitting...the salty thrill was gone. I grumbled for a while, searched the shelves of my local grocery for something to take its place, but alas, I lived in a gourmet-deprived town and no matter how many salts I tried, nothing could bring back the flavors that I longed for. My taste buds lay in solemn despair. I accepted my fate for a while, my appetite waned, my desire for food lingered between indifference and obliged eating and then it occurred to me, I simply had to take the situation into hand and find a salt that could bring back the spring in my step, the zing to my veggies and the passion to my baked pota-toes!

As is true for most things in life, timing is everything and that is when I met him, the Frenchman, and my life turned around! He had lived in Brittany, he had harvested salt himself, he knew everything about good, natural salt and he was willing to share his knowledge! I ordered his beautiful gray sea salt and waited in anticipation, counting the days until it arrived. Finally, in a brown paper-wrapped box, torn and scuffed from its long journey across the sea, the postman handed me the simple square box holding a cup of heaven!

I tore into it, untwisted the heavy metal clasp on the bag inside and pinched a few grains of the still damp salt breathing in the smell of the sea and the wind and the sun that had created it! Giddily I dropped the grains of salt on my tongue and closed my eyes letting its smooth salty essence melt in my mouth. It was then that I knew I would never allow myself to be without this marvelous, flavorful gift from Mother Nature ever again! Life is simply too short!

Brittany Gray™ is that same wonderful salt that I discovered, and I wanted to share it with you! Mineral-rich, soft and delightfully salty, you won’t want to be without it either!
