What is that butter called?

[AintNobodyHereButUsChickens]

The posh one with the salt crystals in it? I used to buy it years ago but I cannot for the life of me, remember what it's called! It possibly has a French name although I might have made that up

Brittany?

President?

Ahhh I wish I knew! My gran used to always have this and it was amazing! No we have lurpack and a sprinkle of rock salt but it's not quite the same!

Isigny or President ?

I think it something unusual and it began with D? I'd definitely remember Brittany or President, so it wasn't those.

Isigny is nice, president a little too refined for my salty tastes 😬 Waitrose do an excellent dupe too!

Ooh Isigny sounds familiar. D'Isigny?

Isigny Sainte - mere is the full name ,not sure if it's been known as anything else in the past ?

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beurre_d'Isigny

Beurre d'Isigny? It's a designation of butter from France and soooooo delicious

It's gorgeous though

I adore it

Beurre D'Isigny from tesco or Brittany sea salt butter from Marks.

It could be Beurre de barratte (made with soured milk) or Beurre d'Isigny as a PP suggested. They don't necessarily have the salt crystals though - you can get them unsalted, slightly salted, salted, and with crystals. You need to look for "a la fleur de sel" or "aux cristaux de sel" if you want the type with crystals. Or pop to Waitrose and buy their conveniently translated own brand Brittany butter with sea salt crystals.

Blimey I'm dieting but now I want this illusive butter on some crusty bread!

Incidentally, President spreadable butter is the only spreadable not to contain vegetable oil. Because the French don't bugger their food about.

In no way answering the question but the best butter is Le Beurre Bordier. I buy it when I'm in France and there are so many varieties - the onion one in particular is bloody amazing.

I live in France. Onion butter you say? Don't think I have ever seen this - where do you get yours?

The last place I found it was in the food market at the Galeries Lafayette in Paris. It's bloody lovely!

Thank you @amusedbush, I'll look out for that (although we are a lot further south)

Beurre D'Isigny from tesco YES! I'm sure it was this one! I only managed to find it in my local store twice which is why I stopped buying it! Useless twats. The only other supermarkets we have are Morrisons and an M&S food. Nearest Waitrose is 20 miles away

@DisgraceToTheYChromosome not true. Kerrygold spreadable is the same.

Try Shirgar welsh block butter, has salt crystals in it too, sold in Tesco, delicious!

If you have Morrisons nearby, they do a Brittany butter with salt crystals. It's in a fancy black packaging & is fantastic!

I do have a Morrisons. Well not me personally, but there is one in the town in which I live. I will have to make a trip up there next week. And maybe I should buy a butter dish too, thinking about it.

This is the nicest butter ever. I could just eat little chunks on its own although I try not to!
