THE BRAND
Behind the label
Produced in the small village of Échiré within the Deux-Sèvres department of France, Échiré holds the prestigious AOP (Appellation d'Origine Protégée) status for Charentes-Poitou butter. Operating as a traditional cooperative since 1894, the brand focuses on low-volume, artisanal excellence tailored for elite pastry chefs and Michelin-starred kitchens.
The production program relies on local cow's milk that is naturally cultured for 18 hours before being slowly processed in traditional wooden barrel churns (teak wood). This meticulous ancestral method yields an ultra-dense butter texture with a minimum 82% butterfat content and a signature hazelnut flavor profile. Its exceptionally low moisture retention gives it superior elasticity, making it highly prized for precision laminated pastry and laminated doughs.
