La Baleine Fine Sea Salt

La Baleine is an iconic French sea salt brand established in 1934. It is widely recognized by its distinctive blue packaging and whale logo. The salt is naturally harvested from the salt marshes of Aigues-Mortes in the Camargue region of Southern France, a site where salt production dates back to at least the Roman era.

The brand is owned by the Salins Group (Compagnie des Salins du Midi et des Salines de l'Est), one of the leading salt producers in Europe. The production process relies on natural evaporation using sun and wind, maintaining a tradition that supports biodiversity in the French coastal wetlands. It is distributed globally as a premium Mediterranean sea salt.
