A pure expression of cream, the iodine of Breton country pastures, and a terroir whose character evolves with the seasons. The Bordier unsalted base used to craft every flavored variety in the range.
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).

Note about your butter
• Shipping : butter is shipped in a triple-layer box liner with insulation and ice packs, providing up to 48 hours of protection.
Due to the specialized packaging and expedited shipping required, butter does not qualify for free shipping. However, adding non-perishable products to your cart will grant you access to free shipping for those items.
Please note that we ship from Monday to Thursday (Cutoff Time : 11AM PT) for 1-day delivery, to avoid any weekend delays.
Any delivery dates provided on our website or by email are estimates and may vary depending on carrier operations, our operations, and order timing. For confirmation of your exact shipping and delivery dates, we invite you to contact us directly at contact@thefrenchpantryca.com.
• 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.

A Taste of Brittany in a New Mexico Birthday Cake
I ordered Bordier Unsalted Butter from The French Pantry for a very special occasion my mother’s birthday cake.
As a lifelong craftsman, I spend my days chasing excellence in Venetian plaster, and in the kitchen I chase the same thing: ingredients that possess character, soul, and a sense of place. This butter delivered all three.
The aroma alone was remarkable. Rich cream, fresh pasture, and an elegance that reminded me why French butter has earned its reputation. But the real magic happened when it was gently browned and infused with Madagascar vanilla before being folded into the frosting of a three-day celebration cake made for my 88-year-old mother.
The result was extraordinary.
The butter brought depth rather than heaviness, richness without greasiness, and a lingering dairy sweetness that elevated every bite. Family members who rarely comment on ingredients immediately noticed that something was different. They couldn’t name it, but they knew the cake was special.
In a world increasingly filled with shortcuts, Bordier still tastes like it was made by people who care.
From a small kitchen in Clovis, New Mexico, thank you for helping create a birthday memory my family will talk about for years.
I’ll be ordering again.
Hi Eli,
Thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful review! We're delighted that our butter helped create such a memorable birthday celebration for your family. We look forward to serving you again soon!
Best wishes,
The French Pantry Teaml
The service is as incredible as the product!
Thank you very much, Sarah !

Hi Jonathan, we're thrilled to hear you love the butter! Let us know if you need recommendations :)
Loved everything about it
Thank you, Evelyn. That's good to hear :)
King of butter, very well crafted, 😋
Thank you, Virgen! 'King of butter' is exactly how we feel about it. Bordier's craft really stands apart.
Best Butter there is
Glad you love it, Sarah! The unsalted version really showcases the cream's natural sweetness. Wonderful as a finishing butter.
Wonderful true butter flavor. Good to know that it came from grass fed cows.
Thank you, John. Enjoy :)
The best butter Ive ever tasted. Ive been a chef/baker for 38 years, this is the real deal. The packaging was perfect and profesional. When i saw it had been delivered i raced home on my lunch break b/c i was afraid it’d melt. Not a chance. Wrapped with two frozen gel packs and 2 insulated containers. And overnight shipping was actually overnight. Can’t wait to buy more more.
Thank you so much! It’s a lot of work, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to notice :)
Ok
We are glad everything was Ok :)
I bought this butter for my husband after he had the butter at the Hotel Bel Air. He loves butter in general and adores yours specifically!
We are so glad to hear that you and your husband love the butter. We hope to continue providing you both with excellent butter for years to come :)
I bought this butter along with the black truffle version. I haven’t tried the truffle one yet, but I did try this one and was expecting a more distinct or unique flavor based on the price and branding. It tasted fine, but nothing really stood out—it didn’t feel much different from regular high-quality butter.
In total I ordered two small sticks from the French Pantry and paid around $80 total, with no samples or extras included, which was a little disappointing for a premium product at this price point.
I love discovering artisanal foods, but for the cost, I was hoping for either more flavor impact or a little extra attention to the experience.
Hi V.O.,
Thank you for your honest feedback—we really appreciate you taking the time to share it. The unsalted Bordier butter is intentionally subtle to highlight the quality of the cream and the craftsmanship behind it, but we understand it may not stand out as much in flavor, especially compared to the flavored versions.
We’re sorry to hear the experience didn’t quite match your expectations. We strive to offer both exceptional products and service, and we’ll take your comments to heart as we continue improving.
We hope the truffle butter brings a more impactful taste. If there’s anything we can do, feel free to reach out—we’re here for you!
Bordier butter was excellent!
Thank you for your feedback, Brett !
I have had Bordier Butter in France. The flavor of the butter sent to me was off. I don’t knot if it as old or not handled correctly. When I got the package the cold packs were still cold and the butter was also cold. Just the flavor was off.
Thank you for your feedback, and I'm really sorry to hear that the butter didn't meet you expectations. We take quality seriously and are glad to hear it arrived cold, but we understand that flavor is everything—especially with a product like Bordier. Sometimes batches can vary slightly due to the seasons. Please don’t hesitate to reach out directly—we’d be happy to look into it further or help find a better match for your taste.
This is EXACTLY how butter is supposed to be. Thank goodness someone still does it right
Glad you loved it! We truly appreciate your continued support, Brigit ! :)
