Beurre de Baratte - Salted Butter

Beurre de Baratte is a traditional French butter crafted using time-honored techniques. Made from cultured cream, it’s churned slowly in a “baratte” — a traditional wooden butter churn — which gently creates a butter with a rich, creamy texture and a deep, slightly tangy flavor. Unlike industrially produced butters, Rodolphe Le Meunier’s Beurre de Baratte is made in small batches, using milk from pasture-raised cows. The addition of fine sea salt not only seasons the butter but also enhances its luxurious, almost silky mouthfeel and complex, cultured character.

This butter isn’t just for spreading on bread, though it’s absolutely heavenly slathered on a warm, crusty baguette (especially with some French ham for the ultimate jambon beurre). Beurre de Baratte’s balanced salinity and richness make it ideal for finishing seafood, melting over grilled vegetables, or adding depth to simple sauces. In short, it’s what butter is supposed to taste like.
