Truemors
After much praise over these golden pots (just arrived today at Olliffe) by a local chef and Andy, I couldn't help but part with a chunk of Echire butter (it's pasteurized and not raw as was advertised by another "Boutique" gourmet grocery store). Supposedly like really rich cheese, I'm already dreaming of the possibilities... maybe it should be eaten straight from the block? with a glass of wine?
This is what others (i.e. those that sell it - www.gourmetfoodstore.com) say about it :
"Salted Echire Butter In A Basket
A famed artisan French butter, from the milk of cows of the small village of Poitiers and La Rochelle. Known as one of the best butters in France, Echire butter is served in the finest dining establishments (which is why the French covet this butter and keep 85% of the production within France). This sophisticated butter won AOC protected status, and is produced mostly by hand. A light texture, light salting and subtle flavor make this butter just about divine. Its in its traditional lovely basket packaging.
Storage: refrigerated
Shelf Life: 30 days
Availability: Usually ships within 1 business day."
Hmm... looks like I should start digging in.
