Grand Fermage Demi-Sel

Grand Fermage Beurre aux Cristaux de Sel de Mer de Noirmoutier is unapologetically salty, with a creamy base and little crystals of sea salt that give it a satisfying crunch. The salt is harvested by hand on the Île de Noirmoutier, just off the Vendée coast, and has been used in this butter since 1994.

It's a very versatile butter and works with almost anything, from bread and potatoes to vegetables, seafood, and eggs. I particularly like it when I want the salt to be part of the flavor rather than simply a seasoning.
