Churned Seasonal Chocolate and Cacao Nib Butter by Bordier (4.4 oz) | Hand-made, Grass Fed | Imported from France

A 2024 seasonal creation inspired by after-school snacks. The butter blends 68% pure Ghanaian cocoa with the subtle bitterness of crunchy roasted cacao nibs, also from Ghana. Both gourmet and delicate, best enjoyed simply on a tartine, pancake, or brioche. Maison Bordier butter is commonly known as the best butter in the world, making it a must-have for chefs. The milk that Maison Bordier uses comes exclusively from human-scale farms producing preservative free milk within 60 miles of the processing workshop, between Brittany, Normandy and Pays de la Loire. It takes 12 times longer to make than regular butter. Jean-Yves Bordier is the only craftsman who continues to employ the age-old technique of working churned butter in a wooden barrel and hand-blending it with delicate sea salt. In this process of kneading and salting, known endearingly as "crying," the butter releases water, which intensifies its taste, deepens its complexity, and results in a creamy texture. The base unsalted butter used to craft all of Bordier's salted and flavored varieties contains 82% butterfat and 0.6% sugar (naturally occurring lactose).
