#57 - Gray Sea Salt

A friend recently gave me a delicious little present from Starbucks. Salted Almond Chocolate Bites!! (The blue label in this photo).






I notice the strangest things and couldn't help but wonder why it said "gray sea salt". I mean, what's the difference in sea salt and gray sea salt. Why make the distinction on a package?

Gray sea salt is an unrefined sea salt usually found around France's Atlantic Coast. Gray sea salt is gaining fame and popularity lately in culinary preparation and is thought by many to be the best sea salt available.

So basically does that mean it's just sea salt from the French coast? Anyone else know what makes is special? Just wondering. :)
