£6.50

Au Bon Unsalted Butter — the unsalted version of Oliver Martin's artisan butter from Beaulencourt in the Pas-de-Calais. Same cream from a blend of Jersey, Holstein and Normande cows, same traditional churning with no preservatives or additives, same 250g block — but without salt. This is the butter for baking, for pastry, and for any preparation where you want the richness of good butter without the salinity.

Unsalted butter lets you control the seasoning in everything you make. In pastry, it produces a cleaner, purer result. In sauces — beurre blanc, hollandaise, beurre noisette — it gives you a smooth, rich base without pushing the salt level beyond what you intended. On the table, it is the butter you serve with smoked salmon, with caviar, or alongside anything that is already well seasoned.

The flavour is pure, sweet cream — the natural richness of the Jersey and Normande milk comes through clearly without salt to mask it. The colour is a natural pale gold.

Origin: Beaulencourt, Pas-de-Calais, France

Ingredients: Cream (cow's milk).

Storage: Refrigerate. Unsalted butter has a shorter shelf life than salted — use within a week or freeze. Freezes well without loss of quality.

Net: 250g

Allergens: Milk.

For baking: this is the primary use for unsalted butter. Croissants, puff pastry, shortcrust, brioche, cakes — the quality of the butter is directly audible in the finished product, and the absence of salt lets you season precisely. Bring to room temperature for creaming methods; use cold from the fridge for laminated pastry.

For sauces: beurre blanc, hollandaise, beurre noisette, compound butters. Unsalted gives you a clean base and complete control over the seasoning.

On the table: serve alongside smoked salmon, caviar, or anything that is already well seasoned and does not need additional salt from the butter. Also the right choice for anyone on a low-sodium diet.

For finishing: a knob of unsalted butter melted over vegetables, stirred into risotto, or tossed through pasta adds richness without adding salt. Season separately.

Freezing: unsalted butter has a shorter fridge life than salted. If you are not going to use it within a week, freeze it. Wrap tightly — the original packaging is fine, or add an extra layer of cling film. Defrost in the fridge overnight.
