Just bought some Pamplie at the Vinegar Factory - that is some good butter. Ate some plain (I get it, I get it) and now on some of that wonderful bread from the Hungarian Market.
Pamplie is made in Poitou Charentes, with fleur de sel de l'ile de Re....what could be bad?
butter, butter, butter, GOOD butter

Okay, this Pamplie is, um, a problem.

Uh Oh. I've started a low carb diet this week. I guess I'll have to eat this butter like Rose does, with a spoon. 1 tsp Pamplie, 10mg Lipitor, 1 tsp Pamplie, 10 mg of Lipitor....

I stand corrected. It wasn't Pamplie at Le Moulin de Lourmarin's breakfast, it was L'echiré. They're both wonderful, with a similar hint o'cheese. I wonder if L'echiré is available in NYC. Has anyone seen it?Fantasty tells me she was able to get it at Gourmet Garage and that she's "nearly certain this is what they served at the outstanding breakfast we had at Le Moulin de Lourmarin...".

I agree about the Pamplie- it's wonderful stuff. I have a French customer that must be eating it like cheese- she buys about 2 rolls/ week of the stuff.
I also like the Sill Beurre de Baratte with Fleur de Sel. The salt bits are big enough to make this a little crunchy, which I love that extra little texture to the creaminess.

Butter road trip! Normandy and Brittany sounds okay to me.French butters made from unpateurized milk are the best to eat like cheese. I would go back to Normandy and Brittany just for this. The best have 84% butterfat, if I recall correctly.
