Beurre D'Isigny | Local Butter From Isigny-sur-Mer, France | TasteAtlas

Beurre d'Isigny

Beurre d'Isigny is a butter made from pasteurized milk and cream in the Veys Bay and surrounding valleys in France. No additional colorings, creams or substances can be added to the product. The butter is golden yellow in color due to the high amounts of carotenoids in it.


The Veys Bay and the surrounding area are made of chalky, clay soil near the sea and have top quality pastures where the grass is very rich in iodine and beta-carotene. The soil and pastures give the milk a unique taste, color and high mineral salt content, all of which can be seen and tasted in the final product - d'Isigny Butter.


It tastes sweet, creamy, slightly like hazelnuts and contains lots of vitamin A. When sold, it can be packaged in shapes of blocks and rolls or placed in baskets.
