Churned Salted Butter by Bordier (4.4 oz) | Hand-made, Grass Fed | Imported from France

A semi-salted churned butter at 2.8% fine salt, with a creamy character and seasonal notes of caramel and hazelnut in summertime. Best appreciated simply, biting into the edge of a fresh toast.

Maison Bordier butter is commonly known as the best butter in the world, making it a must-have for chefs.

The milk that Maison Bordier uses comes exclusively from human-scale farms producing preservative free milk within 60 miles of the processing workshop, between Brittany, Normandy and Pays de la Loire. It takes 12 times longer to make than regular butter.

Jean-Yves Bordier is the only craftsman who continues to employ the age-old technique of working churned butter in a wooden barrel and hand-blending it with delicate sea salt. In this process of kneading and salting, known endearingly as "crying," the butter releases water, which intensifies its taste, deepens its complexity, and results in a creamy texture.

The base unsalted butter used to craft all of Bordier's salted and flavored varieties has a fat content of 82% and a sugar content of 0.6% (naturally occurring lactose).

A rustic and noble material, it gives us its creamy taste, and reveals notes of caramel and hazelnut in summertime.

Semi-salted butter, it is the powerful taste of fine salt at 2.8%, the enjoyment of biting on the edge of a toast, quite simply.

• If Your Butter Arrives Softened : Don't worry—it's still perfectly safe to eat! Butter, especially salted varieties, is resilient and can stay at room temperature for some time without spoiling.

Butter will arrive as a fresh (not frozen) product.

• Upon Arrival : Store in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness and restore the firmness of your butter

• Bordier Butter : It may look like it has melted into the paper, but this is simply a natural coloration that develops over time. It's part of its unique, artisanal character and does not affect its quality.

Best Before date follows the European format (DD/MM/YYYY) and is not an Expiration date. It reflects the period of optimal flavor and texture, not food safety. Over time, it may slowly lose flavor or turn slightly bitter—but that typically requires improper storage or many more weeks after this date.

Bordier is delivered to us twice a month from France, each batch carrying a Best Before Date of no more than two weeks. Any remaining stock past this date is offered at a discounted price.

Store Bordier Truffle Butter separately from other foods and butters, as its naturally intense, fat-soluble aroma can spread and be absorbed by nearby products even under refrigeration.

• Room Temperature : Butter (especially salted butter) can be left out for 1-2 days in a butter dish.

• Storage advice : +35°F / +43°F.

• Freezing : Butter can be frozen for up to 4 months—wrap tightly in plastic or foil to prevent freezer burn.
