Their sea salt originates from the Aigues-Mortes salt marshes, a protected natural site with unique biodiversity, where it crystallizes naturally through the alchemy of sea, sun, and wind. They offer a variety of salts, including fine salt, coarse salt, and their hand-harvested Fleur de Sel, alongside reduced-sodium options like La Baleine Essentiel. While specifically French, their dedication to natural, high-quality sea salt makes them a trusted staple for any kitchen, including those of the Balkan\/Eastern European diaspora in California seeking authentic and essential ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat we carry\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSea Salt: Fine Salt, Coarse Salt, Fleur de Sel, Guérande Salt, Noirmoutier Salt\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduced Sodium Sea Salt: La Baleine Essentiel (70% sea salt, 30% other marine minerals)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOther Salts: Various formats\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBicarbonate: Made from salt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHeritage \u0026amp; Philosophy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLa Baleine's heritage is deeply rooted in an ancestral craft, focusing on the natural crystallization of sea salt from the Aigues-Mortes salt marshes.
