What Makes Isigny Sainte-Mère Butter So Special?
- Protected Designation of Origin (PDO)
- As a PDO product, this butter is crafted under strict guidelines to ensure its authenticity and quality. It is produced exclusively within a 175-municipality geographical area around Isigny-sur-Mer, Normandy, where the unique terroir imparts its exceptional flavor and texture.
- Rich, Nutrient-Dense Milk
- The cows graze on grasslands nourished by mineral-rich, marine-based soils and a mild, temperate climate. This results in milk naturally high in beta-carotene, iodine, and essential nutrients, which give the butter its signature buttercup-yellow color and creamy taste.
- Cultured & Churned Butter
- Made using traditional methods, the cream is cultured with natural lactic fermenting agents, enhancing the butter’s creamy texture and delicate notes of fresh cream and hazelnut. The butter is then churned to achieve its smooth, spreadable consistency.
- Exceptional Texture and Flavor
- This unsalted butter boasts a soft, creamy texture, making it ideal for spreading, baking, or cooking. Its flavor is clean and slightly tangy, a hallmark of its cultured production process.
