In the Magdalen Islands, the sea is part of who we are. It shapes our memories, our roots, our way of being in the world. It is there, on our grandparents' land, that the Alcyon adventure began.

We grew up to the rhythm of the tides, surrounded by a wind that carries stories as much as sea spray. From this deep attachment came a simple idea: to create a sea salt that truly reflects our territory. A salt from here, shaped by the sea that watched us grow up.

In love with our archipelago and guided by the desire to offer something real, we set ourselves a challenge: to produce an artisan sea salt of exceptional quality, with zero waste, that elevates cooking today while honouring what our families have passed down to us.

Alcyon is, above all, a name filled with love and heritage. The name of our father's fishing boat. A symbol of adventure, courage, and what we pass on. It is also the name of a mythical bird that, they say, announces fair weather at sea.

Today, Alcyon is THE Quebec sea salt : harvested by hand, flake by flake, in our grandparents' carefully restored barn. A unique artisan process that yields a salt of remarkable delicacy and purity. A place where memory and the future meet every single day.

We are a small family business, carried by our four voices, our four strengths, our four different but deeply complementary perspectives. What unites us: the sea. The family. And this shared desire to create products made here, with respect, patience and authenticity.

Every flake, every blend, every creation carries a little of who we are. A little of our family's history. A little of the Islands. A little of that salt instinct that has guided us from the very beginning. Alcyon is our way of sharing the beauty of home — one grain at a time.
