Beurre de Baratte - Salted Butter
Beurre de Baratte - Salted Butter
Jura - France
Soft, creamy butter from the Loire Valley made by famed cheesemaker (and butter!) Rodolphe Le Meunier. Made the old fashion way, Beurre de Baratte is churned, rather than extracted with a centrifuge.
Honoring the ancient methods of European butter making, Le Meunier uses a wooden butter churn, pasteurizes the milk no more than 48 hours from harvest to pot and ferments another 24 hours before churning. Each bar is then hand-molded by butter makers.
