Le Ponclet butter (Beurre le Ponclet)

Beurre le Ponclet is a unique artisanal butter produced in Brittany, France. Named after the Ponclet family and produced by the artisan David Akpamagbo, this butter is highly esteemed for its rich flavor, smooth texture, and exceptional quality.

The careful attention to detail in its production process sets le Ponclet butter apart from other types of butter. The butter is produced from the milk of cows that are raised on a diet primarily consisting of local grasses, herbs, and other natural feed and is seasoned with fleur de sel (a type of salt) from Guérande.

Additionally, le Ponclet butter is traditionally churned. The entire process, starting from milking to churning, is done with a focus on quality over quantity. Like other high-quality artisanal butters, le Ponclet is typically used as a finishing butter to add flavor and richness to dishes rather than as a general-purpose cooking butter.
