Fontaine des Veuves Beurre Cru Demi-Sel, Charente-Maritime, France - 8.8oz/Each

Silky and intensely creamy, with flavors like sweet cream, toasted hazelnut, crème fraîche, and a delicate cultured tang.

Fontaine des Veuves Beurre Cru Demi-Sel is a traditional French raw-cream butter produced by the Laiterie Coopérative de Pamplie in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. The Fontaine des Veuves brand has roots in neighboring Charente-Maritime, where its historic dairy began operating in the early 1900s. Made from unpasteurized cream that is matured with lactic cultures before being traditionally churned, this butter retains exceptional depth and dairy character.

The Demi-Sel version is lightly salted, balancing the butter’s rich, creamy texture with a pleasant savory finish. Its flavor is notably aromatic, with fresh cream, cultured dairy, and distinctive nutty, hazelnut-like notes. Unlike the producer’s version made with crunchy salt crystals, Demi-Sel has salt incorporated evenly throughout, giving it a smooth and balanced texture.

Best enjoyed simply, Fontaine des Veuves Beurre Cru Demi-Sel is excellent spread on warm baguette or sourdough and pairs beautifully with radishes, potatoes, oysters, shellfish, or cured ham. For wine, its richness works especially well with fresh, high-acid styles such as Champagne, Chablis, Muscadet, Sancerre, or dry Chenin Blanc. Champagne is particularly delicious, as its acidity and bubbles contrast the butter’s richness while its brioche and lees notes complement the butter’s cultured, nutty character.
