Deep Dive

A closer look

Maison Bordier's Huile d'Olive Citronnée butter is made in Saint-Malo, on the coast of Brittany, by an artisan beurrier working since 1985. Cream from grass-fed Brittany cows is churned and then hand-kneaded with wooden teak paddles, a technique the shop has kept alive since the 19th century, and folded with fruity olive oil and fresh lemon zest.

The paste is silky and spreadable, almost whipped, and reads first as fresh sweet cream from those cultured Brittany cows. Then the lemon zest lifts through the middle, and the olive oil rounds the finish with a soft green, faintly peppery note. Very high butterfat, no rind, no aging, just a compact 125g block meant to be used soon after it lands.

Bordier is what a lot of chefs will quietly tell you is the best butter in the world, and this is one of their signature flavored blocks. Come on down and grab a bar — it makes a very simple piece of warm bread taste like a proper table in Saint-Malo.

The Tasting Notes

Texture

Silky, spreadable, almost whipped — folds under the knife with no resistance, coats the palate like soft cream.

Intensity

Gentle and bright — the dairy leads, then lemon zest lifts the finish while the olive oil rounds it off. A flavored butter, not a bold cheese.

Finish

Mid-length finish that hangs on the citrus zest and a whisper of peppery olive oil after the cream fades.

Lactic

Deeply lactic — cultured Brittany cream, very high butterfat, reads like fresh sweet cream with a soft tang from the culture.

Nutty

Not a nutty profile; the fat is fresh and clean rather than browned or aged.

Earthy

No earthy notes; this is a bright, citrus-forward butter, not a rind-driven cheese.

Spicy

A faint peppery lift from the olive oil on the back palate, more green than hot.

The Rind

None rind

No rind — this is a fresh churned butter, sold as a block.

The Pairing

What to pour. What to put alongside.

Cultured Butter stands on its own, but the right partners turn a wedge into a moment. Regional pairings first — they were built for each other.

Champagne · Sancerre · Chablis · Dry Riesling

The bright citrus and cultured tang want a crisp, mineral wine or bubbles to match the acidity in the lemon and cut the butterfat.

The lemon and olive oil are already doing half the work of a dressing, so a good crusty bread and a little flaky salt is really all it needs. Nice on grilled fish or steamed asparagus too.

Like wine tasting, but for cheese

Absolutely loved the cheese store! Everyone was super helpful and friendly. Lena helped us — she was very knowledgeable on all the cheeses: where they came from, what the region is like, what they are known for. It was like wine tasting for cheese.

Excellent customer service on a shipped order

Ordered several cheeses from them and the wrong items were delivered. Contacted the store and they recognized the error and immediately sent the correct order the next day without any fuss. Really appreciate the promptness and professionalism.

Meet the Maker

Maison Bordier

Artisan · Founded 1985 by Jean-Yves Bordier in Saint-Malo · Saint-Malo, Brittany, France · Est. 1985

“Hand-paddled cultured butter in the 19th-century Breton tradition, built on grass-fed Brittany and Normandy milk and finished in small flavored batches that other producers can't replicate at scale.”

Maison Bordier operates out of Saint-Malo on the Brittany coast, where Jean-Yves Bordier took over a small beurrerie in 1985 and turned it into the butter that French chefs name-drop on menus. The milk comes from a tight circle of grass-fed herds across Brittany and Normandy — pasture-driven, seasonal, never industrial — and lands at the workshop as cultured cream that's slow-churned in wooden barattes. From there, it's the malaxage that makes a Bordier a Bordier: the butter gets hand-kneaded on a wooden table with teak paddles, a 19th-century technique nearly every other producer abandoned for stainless steel and speed. That paddling is what gives the butter its silky, almost waxy density and lets Jean-Yves fold in flavors — Roscoff onion, Madagascar vanilla, Périgord black truffle, yuzu, Breton seaweed, smoked salt — without breaking the texture. The flavored line is the one that put Bordier on chefs' radars worldwide, but the doux and demi-sel are the heart of the house: clean, grassy, with a long dairy finish and just enough salt crunch in the demi-sel to wake up a piece of warm bread. They make it in small batches, they sell out, and they don't apologize for either. At the counter, customers ask for it by name — "Maison Bordier, the demi-sel" — and walk out with a 125g bar like it's contraband. Right in the sweet spot of artisan French dairy.
The Signature

Cultured cream slow-churned in wooden barattes, then hand-kneaded (malaxage) on a wooden table with teak paddles — a 19th-century technique that lets flavorings fold in without breaking the texture.
