Lescure

Lescure is a renowned French butter producer with a Protected Designation of Origin (AOP) from the Charentes-Poitou region. Founded in 1884 by Baron Léon Lescure, the brand prides itself on a long tradition and dedication to preserving the authentic artisanal approach to butter production.

Lescure butter carries the prestigious AOP Beurre Charentes-Poitou designation, the oldest AOP for butter in France, established in 1979. This certification guarantees that the butter originates from a strictly defined geographical area, covering the departments of Charente, Charente-Maritime, Deux-Sèvres, Vienne, and Vendée.

The production process involves carefully selected dairy cream that undergoes traditional methods of processing, including pasteurization, ripening with specific dairy cultures, and churning. This results in butter with a rich, nutty flavor and a firm yet supple texture, making it ideal for baking and culinary applications.

Lescure butter is particularly valued by professional bakers and pastry chefs for its consistent quality and ability to provide the perfect texture and flavor in baked goods. The brand’s commitment to excellence and traditional production methods has made Lescure synonymous with premium French butter.
