Le Beurre D’Isigny or Isigny Butter is an AOP or PDO (Protected Denomination of Origin). It is made in accordance to the local traditions, and using exclusively milks of Isigny terroir in France. We brought this magnificient butter to Metro Manila, Philippines for you to enjoy it.
 
How is Isigny butter made?
It is the so-called "old-fashioned" slow maturation that allows the creams used for the butter to develop all their aromas and all their organoleptic qualities. Inoculated with lactic ferments, they are left to rest and mature for 18 hours., then are churned with the greatest respect for tradition.
The butter is the result of this mechanical work. Once the butter droplets are isolated, the artisan knead them. Eventually, that's when they salve the butter.
Isigny butter is made exclusively from cream, milk and lactic ferments: its taste, texture and color are completely natural, its production is traditional.
Also and as required in the DOP technical manual, nothing is added or taken away from the butter.
