Arethusa Butter Sea Salt 12/8 oz

Butter is just churned cream right? Not a chance! The Europeans have known better for centuries. To raise butter to its full potential, the cream has to be cultured and allowed to sour slightly, not unlike the way in which grape juice is elevated by the winemaker. At Arethusa, fresh cream is allowed to sour for two full days before it's churned in small batches, creating a wide array of complex flavor compounds and resulting in a depth of flavor and aroma that will have you reaching for this cultured butter time after time. Pyramidal-shaped sea salt flakes are hand mixed into this churned butter, providing the occasional salty crunch. Seeking, as always, to enhance the clean, rich flavor of the cream rather than mask it, Arethusa adds half as much salt as the average salted butter
