The butter has a natural golden colour as a result of high levels of carotenoids. The butter contains 82% fatty solids and is rich in oleic acid and mineral salts (particularly sodium). These salts provide flavour and a long shelf-life. The local producers requested protection for their milk products as early as the 1930s with a definition of the production area, finally receiving Protected Geographical Status, PDO status in 1996.Beurre d'Isigny PDO registration

Beurre D'isigny Poster 1900
Butter is a dairy product made from the fat and protein components of churned cream. It is a semi-solid emulsion at room temperature, consisting of approximately 81% butterfat. It is used at room temperature as a spread, melted as a condiment, and used as a fat in baking, sauce-making, pan frying, and other cooking procedures. Most frequently made from cow's milk, butter can also be manufactured from the milk of other mammals, including sheep, goats, buffalo, and yaks. It is made by churning milk or cream to separate the fat globules from the buttermilk. Salt has been added to butter since antiquity to help preserve it, particularly when being transported; salt may still play a preservation role but is less important today as the entire supply chain is usually refrigerated. In modern times, salt may be added for taste and food coloring added for color. Rendering butter, removing the water and milk solids, produces clarified butter (including ''ghee''), which is almost enti ...

Carotenoid
Carotenoids () are yellow, orange, and red organic pigments that are produced by plants and algae, as well as several bacteria, archaea, and fungi. Carotenoids give the characteristic color to pumpkins, carrots, parsnips, corn, tomatoes, canaries, flamingos, salmon, lobster, shrimp, and daffodils. Over 1,100 identified carotenoids can be further categorized into two classes xanthophylls (which contain oxygen) and carotenes (which are purely hydrocarbons and contain no oxygen). All are derivatives of tetraterpenes, meaning that they are produced from 8 isoprene units and contain 40 carbon atoms. In general, carotenoids absorb wavelengths ranging from 400 to 550 nanometers (violet to green light). This causes the compounds to be deeply colored yellow, orange, or red. Carotenoids are the dominant pigment in autumn leaf coloration of about 15-30% of tree species, but many plant colors, especially reds and purples, are due to polyphenols. Carotenoids serve two key roles in p ...

Protected Geographical Status
Three European Union schemes of geographical indications and traditional specialties, known as protected designation of origin (PDO), protected geographical indication (PGI), and traditional speciality guaranteed (TSG), promote and protect names of agricultural products and foodstuffs, wines and spirits. Products registered under one of the three schemes may be marked with the logo for that scheme to help identify those products. The schemes are based on the legal framework provided by the EU Regulation No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs. This regulation applies within the EU as well as in Northern Ireland. Protection of the registered products is gradually expanded internationally via bilateral agreements between the EU and non-EU countries. It ensures that only products genuinely originating in that region are allowed to be identified as such in commerce. The legislation fi ...

Bretel Butter
Bretel butter is a brand of canned butter popular among Vietnamese people. It is exported from France. History The Bretel butter company, named after the brothers Eugène and Adolphe Bretel, was started in 1871. Business grew until it formed an oligopoly along with Lepelletier brand butter in the English market. In 1888, the Journal of the Society of the Arts reported that each of the two companies exported 80 to 100 pounds of butter to Britain per week. By 1903, La Maison Bretel Frères had a revenue of 29 million francs, making 80% of their money from exports. The butter won international awards in Paris in 1878, Chicago in 1893, and Paris in 1900. Awards were depicted as gold medals on the top of the can, leading Vietnamese people to nickname the butter ''bơ đồng tiền'', meaning "coin butter". Taste Modern Bretel butter is known for its creamy umami flavor; compared to American butter, European butter is often cultured. It is classified as a demi-sel butter, with ...
