Isigny Ste-Mère

Isigny Sainte-Mère Beurre d'Isigny AOP is one of Normandy's benchmark butters, made from slowly matured cream sourced from the lush coastal pastures around the Baie des Veys. The aroma opens with fresh cream and rich butterfat, followed by gentle notes of sour cream and lactic freshness. As it warms, subtle hay and toasted hazelnut emerge, adding depth without overpowering its clean dairy character.

I especially enjoy this butter with crisp radishes and flaky sea salt, folded into mashed potatoes, or stirred into risotto just before serving, where its cultured richness and lingering dairy notes can truly shine.
