This is Bordier yuzu butter from Maison Bordier in Saint-Malo, Brittany, one of the last houses in France still hand-kneading their butter on teak paddles. Lightly salted, made from the milk of free-ranging Breton cows, and folded through with Japanese yuzu so the citrus works into the paste rather than sitting on top.
On the knife it is silky and spreadable, softening into something almost whipped at room temperature. The cream is deep and cultured up front, faintly yogurty, then the yuzu lifts through the middle, floral and citrusy with a little bitter-pith bite on the finish. Not a novelty butter. The remalaxage process, the hand paddles, the free-range milk, all of it is the same 19th century method the house has always used, just with a modern flavor tucked inside.
The move here is warm bread, a flake of sea salt, and this butter, cold from the fridge and softening as you eat. A tier above what you thought butter could do.
Silky and spreadable straight from the fridge, softens into something almost whipped at room temperature. Coats the palate the way only a high-fat European butter does.
A rich cultured-butter base with a bright yuzu lift on top. Not shy, but not loud either, the citrus reads clearly without pulling focus from the cream.
Cream fades first, then the yuzu perfume hangs on the back of the palate for a beat, floral and just slightly bitter like the pith.
Deeply milky and cultured, that fresh-cream, faintly yogurty tang you get from a proper Breton churn.
A whisper of hazelnut and browned cream underneath the culture, more suggestion than statement.
Clean and pastoral, no mushroom or barnyard notes, just fresh dairy.
No heat. The yuzu brings brightness and a touch of bitterness, not pepper.
None rind
No rind; this is a churned butter, not a cheese.
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.
The bubbles and mineral whites reset the palate between bites of a rich cultured butter, and a clean junmai sake echoes the yuzu without fighting the cream.
Warm bread and a flake of salt let the culture and citrus do the talking. A drop of honey or a slice of pear leans into the fruit side without piling on sugar.
Real reviews from The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills Google Business Profile. Curated by Dom and his team since 1967.
Domenico and his team are fantastic. I’m a chef and I often get my supplies from The Cheese Store — unique products, carefully selected, from top Italian and French cheeses to excellent local ones.
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.
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.
“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.”
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.
