La Baleine Sea Salt

La Baleine is one of France's most iconic salt brands, known globally for its association with the Mediterranean sea and its distinctive blue whale logo. The brand specializes in the production of sea salt harvested naturally through the evaporation of seawater by solar energy and wind.

Starting its journey in the late 19th century, La Baleine has remained deeply rooted in its French heritage. The majority of its production takes place in the Salins de Giraud and Aigues-Mortes salt marshes in the Camargue region of southern France. Today, the brand is owned by the Groupe Salins, a major European leader in the salt industry that oversees everything from household table salt to industrial-grade products. Their commitment to environmental preservation in the salt marshes where they operate is a key part of their brand identity.
