Abernethy Black Garlic Butter is a handcrafted butter infused with black garlic, offering a unique combination of rich and subtly sweet flavors. Black garlic is created through a two-week fermentation process, during which fresh garlic undergoes caramelization, developing a deep, mellow sweetness.
This fermented garlic is then carefully blended with creamy butter, resulting in a product with exceptional depth of flavor and a smooth texture. This butter is highly versatile and can be used in various culinary applications. It is delicious as a spread on fresh bread, where its unique aroma truly shines.
Abernethy Butter is a family-run artisanal dairy. It was founded by husband-and-wife team Will and Allison Abernethy, who transformed their passion for traditional butter-making into a successful business. Their butter is handcrafted using traditional methods from fresh cream sourced from a local farmer, whose cows graze on the lush green fields of the Lagan Valley.
The production process involves slow churning in small batches, which gives the butter its characteristic color and rich flavor. After churning, the butter is hand-washed to remove any remaining buttermilk, lightly salted, and shaped using traditional wooden paddles.
In addition to their classic salted and unsalted butter, Abernethy Butter offers specialty varieties, including black truffle butter, butter with dulse seaweed and Irish sea salt, black garlic butter, and a seasonal Christmas butter infused with dates, rum, and spices.
