Handling & Storage Upon Delivery

Your shipment will arrive chilled rather than frozen. Place your butter in the refrigerator, preferably in an airtight container, immediately upon arrival to preserve freshness and allow it to firm up.

Softened Product: Butter—particularly salted varieties—is naturally stable and remains safe if it softens slightly during transit.
Room Temperature: Plain or salted butter can safely sit on the counter in a butter dish for 1–2 days. Always keep flavored or compound butters refrigerated.
Refrigeration: Maintain a temperature range of 35°F (+2°C) and 43°F (+6°C).
Freezing: For extended storage, you can freeze the butter in an airtight container for up to 4 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before use to preserve its creamy texture and rich flavor.

Bordier Butter: Characteristics & Quality

Paper Discoloration: You may notice yellowing or marks on the inner wrapping paper. This is a natural effect of aging in traditional paper packaging, not a product defect.
Moisture inside Wrapper: Bordier uses a traditional wooden-barrel kneading process (le malaxage), during which the butter releases natural moisture—a stage known in France as "crying." Any liquid inside the wrapper is a mark of authentic artisanal crafting, not spoilage.

Dates & Availability

Date Format: Best-before dates follow the European standard (DD/MM/YYYY). This date indicates peak flavor and texture rather than an absolute expiration date. Past this window, butter remains safe to consume, though flavor profile and quality may gradually diminish over extended periods.

Disclaimer: This guidance is provided for informational reference and does not supersede local regulatory food safety standards.

Culinary Uses

Sauces: The go-to choice for classic French sauces (béarnaise, hollandaise, beurre blanc) where salt control and butter quality are critical.
Sautéing & Poaching: Use for gentle sautéing of vegetables, seafood, or eggs to allow the natural sweetness and flavor of ingredients to shine.
Finishing Touch: Stir into risottos, mashed potatoes, or polenta for a silky, luxurious texture without altering seasoning balance.
Serving at Table: Offer with baguette or artisan bread, allowing the pure flavor to stand out.
Compound Butters: Mix with fresh herbs, citrus zest, or spices for custom spreads that won’t be over-salted.

About Le Beurre Bordier

Widely acclaimed as the finest butter in the world, Le Beurre Bordier Butter is revered for its profound, multi-layered flavor and exquisitely velvety texture. Le Beurre Bordier Butter is crafted from the milk of free-range cows that graze on the nutrient-rich grasses found on small farms in the Brittany region of France. Its production process takes 12 times longer than that of regular butter. Bordier's butter has become an essential ingredient for celebrated French chefs, and it is now available for shipping within the United States.
