PDO ISIGNY BUTTER
Our Isigny Butter was awarded the Protected Designation of Origin label in 1986. This constitutes a guarantee of superior quality, a specific terroir and traditional production methods.
It is made exclusively from the finest milks in the Isigny region, which are exceptionally rich in fat, protein and vitamins. It is natural and, of course, contains no stabilisers or other colourants, to preserve its taste and intrinsic characteristics.
Our PDO Isigny Butter has a buttercup colour that changes with the seasons and boasts a delicious hazelnut flavour. It can be melted, mixed, kneaded or moulded. Depending on how it is worked, it can be soft, creamy, firm or melt-in-the-mouth. It can be served with all kinds of dishes and culinary preparations and can take on any shape.
PDO Isigny Butter can also be eaten or used raw, spread on a simple slice of bread or added to a dish. It will add a fresh, creamy and delicate touch to your dishes.
Our PDO Isigny Butter will elevate all your culinary preparations and recipes:
- In restaurants, our PDO Isigny Butter can be used raw, cooked or to make delicious sauces (for fish or meat) and emulsions.
- Bakers and pastry chefs use it to give their croissants and pastries a delicious buttery flavour. It is also perfect for making flaky and puff pastries.
