Mantequilla de l'Alt Urgell y la Cerdanya

Mantequilla de l'Alt Urgell y la Cerdanya is a high-quality butter made from the milk of Friesian cows in the north-east of the Iberian peninsula. This butter is characterized by its bright yellow color due to its high carotenoid content.

It is made in the traditional way by slightly fermenting the butter, thus intensifying its taste, making it smoother and slightly more acidic. After skimming the milk and beating the cream, the butter is matured for 48 hours, and in that time, it develops a complex aroma and taste resembling that of nuts and sweet fruits.
