Grande Rarité – Fine Grain
Grande Rarité – Strictly Limited Selection
Grande Rarité
An old expression for a rarity born of a world far older than our own.
Persia’s most exceptional crystals. Formed over millions of years. Selected without compromise.
Only a few hundred kilograms exist worldwide each year. The greater part never reaches the open market.
Grande Rarité is the most uncompromising selection produced by our atelier. From all the Persian Blue Salt that reaches us, we choose only those crystals distinguished by exceptional clarity, transparency, depth of colour and expression. Every individual crystal is selected, examined and assessed by hand in our Swiss atelier. It is then carefully broken by hand and meticulously sorted by size, creating the different grain sizes within the Grande Rarité line.
With its fine grain of 0.5–1.5 mm, Grande Rarité is equally suited to refined everyday cooking and precise finishing directly on the plate. Its flavour is exceptionally clear, mineral and harmonious – with a depth and purity that industrially processed salt cannot attain.

Crystal by Crystal – What This Means
For Grande Rarité, there are no shortcuts in our Swiss atelier. Every single crystal is taken in hand, examined and judged: selected or rejected.
The process is slow, exacting and uncompromisingly honest. The resulting quantities are small. The resulting quality is exceptional.
For Every Day – Yet Never Ordinary
The fine grain makes Grande Rarité exceptionally versatile. It dissolves quickly, disperses evenly and lends dishes an elegant mineral depth.
The difference from ordinary salt lies not in how it is used, but in the experience it creates.
