The fame of Isigny butter goes back to the 16th century. Years later, in the 19th century, the population of Paris alone consumed 800 tonnes of butter a year.

How do we explain the fact that the gourmets of the day favoured Isigny butter? It is simple! The Isigny terroir has the advantage of a mild, damp climate, is near the sea and enjoys the benefits of the Bessin and Cotentin marshes. The cows which grazed there fed on grass rich in iodine, beta carotene and trace elements.

The quality of Isigny butter reflects all these natural advantages: it is impossible to confuse it with any other butter. It is yellow like buttercups, it has a faint taste of hazelnuts and it is rich in vitamin A. All these qualities were noted in the Appellation d'Origine Controle specification, which has been in force since 1986.

In launching our 25g and 125g butter dishes, we wanted to do our bit to protect the environment, by putting an attractive but practical butter dish on your table. We also wanted to protect our products from any possible damage on their way to your table.

These guiding principles led us to develop our 25g and 125g butter dishes in biodegradable cardboard to bring you our unsalted and lightly salted AOC butters in a convenient form for the modern consumer.

A butter especially adapted for experts. It enjoys an excellent malleable and soft texture, a good quality for the devlopment of the rolling and folding.

This gives the pastries their sutle and inimitable flavour with a delicate scent of fresh butter.
