La Baleine Essentiel Low Sodium Sea Salt

La Baleine is an iconic French sea salt brand established in 1934. The 'Essentiel' line specifically offers a reduced-sodium alternative by blending traditional sea salt with essential minerals like potassium, magnesium, and calcium.

The salt is harvested from the Aigues-Mortes salt marshes in the Camargue region of Southern France, a site protected for its biodiversity. Historically founded by the Compagnie des Salins du Midi et des Salines de l'Est, the brand is now under the ownership of the Salins Group (Groupe Salins), one of Europe's leading salt producers. The production process remains tied to the natural evaporation of Mediterranean seawater in solar salt pans, maintaining a long-standing tradition of French salt craftsmanship.
