Churned Butter with Noirmoutier Salt Crystals

Baechler’s Churned Butter with Noirmoutier Salt Crystals is a true French delicacy that reflects time-honoured tradition and regional excellence. Crafted by the family-run Baechler Cheese Factory in Lot-et-Garonne, where artisanal butter production is a treasured heritage, this butter is made using the original churn purchased by Charles Baechler in 1951.

This extra-fine butter offers a rich, creamy texture, perfectly accented by prized sea salt crystals from Noirmoutier. The delicate grains add a gentle crunch and a distinctive, slightly iodized flavour, making each bite especially satisfying. The subtle brininess complements the butter’s luscious mouthfeel, enhancing both sweet and savoury dishes.

For an authentic tasting experience, spread this butter on a slice of rustic baguette, add a sliver of cheese, and finish with a drizzle of olive oil for a classic French sandwich flavour. Alternatively, use it on tartines topped with salmon for a delicious aperitif.
