Tasting Brittany’s Iconic Seaweed Butter

What’s France without the baguette? And what’s a baguette without creamy, decadent butter? Well, in the northern region of France in an area called Brittany, Jean-Yves Bordier does butter one bit better. Using three different types of seaweed, Bordier’s butter brings a special salty earthiness-one that has won over some of the top chefs of our time.

    Even from reading the title in my feed made me really really hungry, so when I clicked to watch I was so distracted by the butter and the seaweed and imagining how it would taste like that I forgot to read the subs. I had to rewind the 2 minutes that I missed. 😢 Great Big Story indeed. I'd love to get my hands on one of these someday 🤤 Just a little taste, I probably won't forget it after.

    Anyone who loves the sea can invariably and instinctively know when they are near the ocean without ever seeing or hearing the waves. The smells change, the skies change, the winds change, the salt is palpable. The same goes for butter fats where briny seaweeds are present. It's like buttering your toast on vacation.

    I use a brand of sea salt - seaweed salt - that has kelp and dulse in it (instead of adding an iodine compound to make it meet the federal standard for iodized salt). I sprinkle it on just about everything I put salt on, both in cooking and at the table. It's an easy way to add a bit more nutrition to my daily diet. I like it best on hot buttered popcorn. Is there any place in the US where I can by Breton seaweed butter?
