Pasteurized slightly salted churned butter, extra fine Protected Designation of Origin from Charentes-Poitou (the oldest PDO butter, recognized since 1979). This exceptional butter is made only from cream from milk collected within 18.6 yd around Echire dairy.

This means that although modern equipment is used, the process is allowed to take its time, as it would have been done in the past. The cream is cultured with lactic cultures for 15 hours. This phase gives Charentes- Poitou butter its delicate flavor and its fine, creamy texture. Appearance : Color is pale yellow Taste : Fine taste of cream with a slight hazelnut flavor Texture : Fine and malleable 2015 gold medal & 2017 bronze medal at the Concours General Agricole from Paris The Echire butter has been selected in 2015 for the Excellence Française award (created in 2009 to honour companies wich contribute towards the promotion of France throughout the globe by their expertise, creativity and innovative nature).
