There’s a nugget of management excellence in this video. Not just the delicious butter, but the manager said “I’ll shape for an hour, I’ll wrap for an hour… everyone rotates roles to keep the passion high about what we do”. This is gold. Humans become dull and bored when doing the same task all day, every day. Rotating stations and breaking up the day keeps everyone passionate about the product they produce. Team before self. 👏👏
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ This Message is from the slave and Messanger of Allah Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) to the Mankind. Peace be upon him, who follows the right path. Furthermore, I invite you all to Islam, and if you become a Muslim you will be safe, and Allah will double your reward, and if you reject this invitation of Islam you will be committing a sin. (And I recite to you Allah's Statement:) Allah almighty our creator says, Say, "O people of the Book! Come to what is common between us and you, that we worship none but Allah; that we associate nothing with Him and that none of us shall make as our Lord any other than Allah." If they reject your invitation, then tell them plainly, "Bear witness that we are Muslims (who worship and surrender to Allah alone)." Qur'an (3:64) Allah almighty says, Your real Deity is but One. He Who is Lord of the earth and the heavens and of all that is between them, and Lord of all Easts. Qur'an (37:5) Once we die our creator will again resurrect us on the Judgment day.And on that day if you have believed in Allah and have followed his book Quran then you will be succeed in hereafter life. Hereafter life is the eternal life either in Hell or Paradise depending upon the good deeds.Hereafter life is true life we all should work for that life not for that which is temporary. God Almighty says to the Mankind, Say(O Prophet), “Allah gives you life, then causes you to die, then He will assemble you on the Day of Resurrection about which there is no doubt.” Quran (45:26)
And full of lies. "Hand made.. first we use this machine, then this machine, then that machine, finally it goes to this other machine, then these 2 machines.. and voila! Hand made butter!"
I cant express enough not only how good this butter is, but just that its a whole other experience. Since having it, ive tried many high end butters from all over and none compare, Bordier truly is a giant step above the rest. I only wish I was able to find a place that could procure it for me here in Minnesota :(
ROFL! its just plain butter. buy a quart of heavy cream and whip it in a mixer until it separates into butter and buttermilk. then wash the butter with water. there is no reason to overpay for foo foo frenchie label butter. they charge $14 a stick plus overnight international shipping. hard pass.
I buy Bordier butter at my local cheese dairy and OMG that's something else, they have lot of flavors, spices and everything, but the basic salt butter is PERFECT

Just wow when he said the workers are constantly switching roles everyday!. That's brilliant idea. By doing so, the quality of what they're doing doesn't change.
Also if someone has to be absent, maybe taking a vacation or having a sick day, the others can take up the slack easily as they already know what to do.
as a Singaporean, this is my favorite butter brand and i am so happy to be able to see what goes on inside the factory! Thanks for all your hard work. We are so lucky to be able to enjoy Bordier butter in Singapore.
Credits also to the staff and crew who made this video. The way they were able to relay the story, passion and emotion of the person really is admirable.
I buy this butter every week at my "fromager" here in Angoulême. It is truely amazing. Almost two times the price of normal butter but totaly worth it. Extraordinary butter.
That’s wonderful! I would love it:) I’m able to make butter with cream from whole milk from a friends dairy farm. It’s amazing but surely not as amazing as this:)
This is mesmerizing to watch. Butter can be used for different purposes, whether it's for baking or cooking and so on. Seems like these factories know how to handle the whole process step by step.
Butter is something special in France. We use it quiet a loot for cooking or even just breakfast . A real croissant for instance is mainly done with butter. I personally have one of my favorite breakfast to eat a fresh baguette just with some good butter and a coffee. Simple but terrific
Im from Singapore and recently saw this in a French cafe down my street that also had a confectionary attached to it. Amazing to see the work behind it !
It’s the labor practices that really hit home. And that someone who started on the floor still works there (or st least can still do the job) and does the media.

The fact that this guy has worked every job at the company, and he is the one that is giving the tour, and is doing every process discussed with a high level of skill. Just wow.
I just bought this butter in Korea in a high end grocery that had other french butters as well.

Perhaps my comment will not be noticed by anyone, given how many people around the world will see this beautiful piece of technological art, but... If anyone reads this, I would like to wholeheartedly thank these people who are doing their honest work, while showing their creation for review and emphasizing the external simplicity of such a difficult technological process! Living in Russia (yes, that very distant country, which is in a difficult political and economic situation), I want to say thatpeople don't even think about it heresuch 'simple' things as the manufacture of much-needed products and their quality: people in cities buy low-quality products in ordinary stores, and it's even hard to imagine how big is the problem in my country of manufacturing fake dairy products from very poor raw materials, with violations of sanitary and other technological conditions... But I would not like to end on a sad note, but only with hope in a person as a creator of general well-being, honestly fulfilling his mission, whose work will be appreciated.
In America much of what is sold in the grocery store is garbage. It is very sad to see people buy horrible things such as Cool Whip (fake whipped cream), margarine, mushy bread, fake orange juice and so much more.
The work process of this is truly a masterpiece many companies of different fields could learn alot from this. Even if it's just changing the station the employees work at throughout the day it would help them be more efficient and not just want to leave work already
@@JN-wr9he Butter doesn't carry germs or bacteria well due to it being salty and basically already a preserved food, no risk of them getting anyone sick. All professional restaurants don't use gloves unless they're doing something greasy / slimy and actually need to wear them to keep their hands free of grease or slime. Hands can be washed. If you're wearing gloves you don't wash them that often and a tiny hole can be made in the gloves that contaminates everything. On top of that it's harder to feel through gloves when doing precision work. A well-washed hand with no gloves is much more trustworthy than a gloved one.
People are saying just make butter at home and it will be as good, but no, I make my own butter and you must factor in the quality and regionality of the milk, the cows, all these have a different taste, and then there is the immense amount of kneading involved in this butter... it's not the same as you would make at home because your cream is probably not of such high quality and also you would spend hours kneading just to get a small amount of butter, some things are worth the price to buy.
If you just put milk in a container and then leave it alone while you travel by horse or carriage on a bumpy road, you'll accidentally have butter after an hour or two. Once people figured out you could do that on purpose it was just a matter of refining the technique.
People who have passion in what they do will always have a smile and be happy. And what they build or make it will always be the best you will ever have.
I used to be apathetic about butter until I tried Bordier butter. It completely changed my opinion of butter and my appreciation for it has increased (unsalted is the way to go but Bordier's seaweed butter is still the best butter I've ever tasted).
The quality and attention to detail is without equal! My dad said that he would rather eat 1 pound of butter than a tablespoon of margerine, he laughed at the marketing of plant based "butter" and used butter daily. He lived to 96 years old. I think he was on to something! I should also mention that he was married to a woman 20 years younger than him (my Mum) .
@@kylesear6919 → Look up Nina Teicholz on youtube. She's terrific at describing the evils of margarine as well as all "vegetable" oils. Butter and most animal fats are benign, the rest are inflammatory.
@@wilhelmtaylor9863 When my mother was a young girl in the 1930s, it was illegal for margarine to be sold in any color other than white. This was during the depression when her family had to use margarine to save money. The margarine block would come with a package of yellow dye and it was her job to laboriously mix the yellow dye into the raw, softened margarine to make it look more appetizing, like real butter.
What a beautiful harmony between automation and handcrafting. They have found a way to scale the business, without sacrificing the artistry and quality . Bravo. 👏
I buy this butter at the shop in Saint Malo when I go there every few months. The restaurant next door serves the butter on a plate - 8 ( I think ) squares of butter and a big basket of bread. That's all you need really. It's delicious, the shop is amazing, they will pack up the butter in a thermal bag for traveling with ice packs.
Can confirm, as an ignorant American, just how good butter can truly be.....the difference is just incredible with something simple like great butter on great fresh bread
If you train in a French kitchen, cooking French food, you are expected to learn some French wherever you come from. No concessions are made. Very French like this butter
Beautiful process, devoted and passionate workers, and of course, an amazing product. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 They have a right to be proud! A legacy that will last a long, long time.
This is the most beautiful butter I’ve ever seen. If I were wealthy, I’d have a separate fridge and freezer for it. As for personalization, make mine one batch with black truffles and another batch with white truffles. Maybe a batch with anchovies, one with smoked salmon, one with espelette pepper, one with smoked paprika, one with chestnut honey, …
As a baker, I know that the quality of every ingredient affects the final product. Butter may be the most important ingredient. I would love to try baking with this butter.
I am so impressed and full of admiration. These are trues craftspeople, who produce wonderful, life-enhancing and delicious butter. I am in Portugal, where cream and butter are of poor quality or non-existent. I would pay anything to have this butter available for cooking and baking, and I know it would enhance everything I do.
When he spoke about oxidation I thought why would anyone want to degrade their product, but like all finer things I guess it's just a small percentage in the process to develop more complex flavour. It's still weirdly interesting how some prefer funky flavours over clean ones (Yes Blue cheese I'm thinking of you!)😅
cette histoire est bien la magie du business bordier . faire du "beurre" avec du beurre . limiter au max le rancissement mais à 35 e le kg . je préfère les beurres traditionnels provenant de lait bio en petite production à 16 ou 17 e le kg .
Note that this is salted butter, which is very popular in Brittany (where this producer is located). But outside this area non salted butter is generally more popular.This is because, historically, Brittany was exempted from the salt tax ("la gabelle") and therefore did not fear to put salt in butter to make it last longer.
@@moussesucree na come on.. we German don’t have much. Please let us have good breads xD the only thing we have xD We have done so many bad things to the world in the past, so let us give you the world good bread at least 😭
I didn't realise M. Bordier had retired. What a great company, whilst some of the scientific claims are dubious, it doesn't actually matter, because the final result is a supposedly great product which I would love to try one day! If there is an artisanal butter, this is it!
@@courgettee No, no, no, no, no courgette, my wee YT friend, it's magnificent butter, butter of the gods and from the gods, look at the care and attention..........go on, try and get hold of some, pot some on a roll, or baguette with either nothing, or some sliced fresh tomatoes and salt and white pepper and then return with your findings :) x
I just got recommended this, and I remember Regional Eats and their video with Jean-Yves. I was disappointed to hear that he retired, but I'm glad he was able to bring a leader with the same love as his own.
When it comes to food quality and standards, France puts us to shame. Respect to Bordier for using methods that create passionate, knowledgeable employees who are driven and take pride in their work.
As a kid, we had a Holstein cow and made our own with a hand churn. Bright yellow, didn't kneed it but turned out great. Mom made homemade bread too. The smell was heavenly.
I spent $40 just to get a special order of Bordier butter from my local artisanal fine foods supplier because I really wanted to try it. It tastes different for sure. The texture is melt-in-your-mouth and putting it on a good baguette is just simply heaven. You don't need anything else for your meal. But the flavoured ones definitely have a strong taste, especially the seaweed butter - it's plenty salty. I'd say it was worth a try, but not so feasible for regular consumption unless it's easily available to you. And this was half a year ago, it wasn't all that memorable until I stumbled onto this video again and decided to recall what it tastes like.
You should. Bordier butter is rallye really good. And you even have special recipe like pepper butter or yuzu butter. It's quite pricey but worth it 😋 - A french guy
Gloves are a fallacy. They incite people to be lazy about hygiene. A study in the US showed that sandwiches prepared with gloves have twice the risk of being contaminated compared to those prepared with bare hands.
There is no dirtiness difference between gloves and hands the moment you put on the first or wash the second. And often, workers with gloves tend to not change it very often.

This is the most beautiful butter I’ve ever seen. If I were wealthy, I’d have a separate fridge and freezer for it. As for personalization, make mine one batch with black truffles and another batch with white truffles. Maybe a batch with anchovies, one with smoked salmon, one with espelette pepper, one with smoked paprika, one with chestnut honey, …
As a baker, I know that the quality of every ingredient affects the final product. Butter may be the most important ingredient. I would love to try baking with this butter.
“Everything is done by hand”
Immediately shows the butter being churned in an enormous industrial machine
Went straight to the shop to purchase this after watching this, just tried a little and it is OMG so nice! Love it so much! Thanks for sharing!
I am so impressed and full of admiration. These are trues craftspeople, who produce wonderful, life-enhancing and delicious butter. I am in Portugal, where cream and butter are of poor quality or non-existent. I would pay anything to have this butter available for cooking and baking, and I know it would enhance everything I do.
Great real video. Loved it. Thank you.
When he spoke about oxidation I thought why would anyone want to degrade their product, but like all finer things I guess it's just a small percentage in the process to develop more complex flavour. It's still weirdly interesting how some prefer funky flavours over clean ones (Yes Blue cheese I'm thinking of you!)😅
cette histoire est bien la magie du business bordier . faire du "beurre" avec du beurre . limiter au max le rancissement mais à 35 e le kg . je préfère les beurres traditionnels provenant de lait bio en petite production à 16 ou 17 e le kg .
Note that this is salted butter, which is very popular in Brittany (where this producer is located). But outside this area non salted butter is generally more popular.This is because, historically, Brittany was exempted from the salt tax ("la gabelle") and therefore did not fear to put salt in butter to make it last longer.
French butter is absolutely very delicious :)
Suddenly 8 year old me who eats bread and butter at every meal is making me want to take a little trip from New York to France...
u can order this in US
Try this french Butter with handmade German bread which fresh from the oven and it is still warm…
@@maxk.9976 ah so close, french butter with french bread.
@@maxk.9976 Germans always think their bread is the best lol
@@moussesucree na come on.. we German don’t have much. Please let us have good breads xD the only thing we have xD
We have done so many bad things to the world in the past, so let us give you the world good bread at least 😭
I would definitely love to spend a couple hours watching the operation of this butter factory in person.
I didn't realise M. Bordier had retired. What a great company, whilst some of the scientific claims are dubious, it doesn't actually matter, because the final result is a supposedly great product which I would love to try one day! If there is an artisanal butter, this is it!
I'm from New Zealand one of the biggest dairy exporters in the world. I had no idea. Thank you so much
Man, betcha handling all that butter these guys never suffer from dry skin on their hands lol 😂
I've never wanted butter so badly in my life.
Lol
These truly are Exotic Butters
I hope they keep producing for decades to come
Wow, this is stunning! I'll travel to Brittany soon, I'll make sure to try this butter.
The world needs more of this type of skill, tradition and craftsmanship.
Amazing! I love butter!
Butter
Will need to try and get a hold of some of that somewhere, looks magnificent.
does it? its just butter
@@courgettee No, no, no, no, no courgette, my wee YT friend, it's magnificent butter, butter of the gods and from the gods, look at the care and attention..........go on, try and get hold of some, pot some on a roll, or baguette with either nothing, or some sliced fresh tomatoes and salt and white pepper and then return with your findings :) x
Hopefully there’s a European style store in your town, we have one in Fairbanks, Alaska, aptly named Eurostyle.
If only I could find this butter locally! I found it online, but its $14 for 4oz (128g) 😥😥 I'm sure it's worth it though!
Wow that s expensive indeed
I think il s around 3,50€ here, which is now the price for an average 250 g butter
That's pretty expensive to butter your toast with.
Local butter would still be expensive.
Not going to lie, if you like butter, it’s worth it.
Bless these food heroes. PS a fresh baguette and this butter is ALL you need in life, spectacular.
He got me ready to churn my own butter.. the process looks like art
The right guy to lead the business after bordier retired.
I just got recommended this, and I remember Regional Eats and their video with Jean-Yves. I was disappointed to hear that he retired, but I'm glad he was able to bring a leader with the same love as his own.
I need to try that butter.
You call it "fancy" but let's be honest... this is REAL BUTTER
As a chef i become goosebumps from seeing the passion and master level of craft♥️
When it comes to food quality and standards, France puts us to shame. Respect to Bordier for using methods that create passionate, knowledgeable employees who are driven and take pride in their work.
seaweed butter lime and scallops sounds amazing! 😍
Yuzu butter, wow, that sounds amazing.
I wish I had some of your butter, love the way you work with your workers. Also beautiful products.
As a kid, we had a Holstein cow and made our own with a hand churn.
Bright yellow, didn't kneed it but turned out great.
Mom made homemade bread too. The smell was heavenly.
I started churning butter at home in a Kitchenaid. I'll never go back to industrial butter. Even doing it as an amateur, the difference is incredible.
Absolutely fascinating.
I’m an Irish butter girl myself. But that butter looks amazing
Irish butter is the best we can get here in Colorado and it's damn good. Wouldn't mind trying this French version but may not ever get the chance.
Butter is God telling us there's hope in this world.
I spent $40 just to get a special order of Bordier butter from my local artisanal fine foods supplier because I really wanted to try it.
It tastes different for sure. The texture is melt-in-your-mouth and putting it on a good baguette is just simply heaven. You don't need anything else for your meal. But the flavoured ones definitely have a strong taste, especially the seaweed butter - it's plenty salty.
I'd say it was worth a try, but not so feasible for regular consumption unless it's easily available to you. And this was half a year ago, it wasn't all that memorable until I stumbled onto this video again and decided to recall what it tastes like.
For a good baguette you need to be in France or have a frenchy around with the knowledges
Nothing like a craftsman doing something by hand to make my day.
I LOVE watching any traditional or artisanal process. We have lost SO MUCH in the United States. It is devastating. 😞
You can't lose something you never had.
4:00 What if arm hair falls into the butter during the kneading process?
Cope
9:13 "No one should spend the whole day in the same job"
j'adore ce beurre, j'en achète de temps en temps. il est délicieux
I prefer raw cream butter (also from Brittany), but the taste of Le Bordier (yuzu) is quite amazing.
As a french, I agree with you
Hand sweat adds flavor.
Take ur soy meds Kevin
I feel the urge just to eat it all
You should. Bordier butter is rallye really good. And you even have special recipe like pepper butter or yuzu butter. It's quite pricey but worth it 😋
- A french guy
You have to love France.
Love that they rotate the employees through the stations!
God I'd love to baste a steak with that butter and try it on its own too 🤤🤤
so fancy butter is touched by none gloved hands none stop
I worried that he didn't wash his hands after eating the butter off of his thumb.
Gloves are a fallacy. They incite people to be lazy about hygiene. A study in the US showed that sandwiches prepared with gloves have twice the risk of being contaminated compared to those prepared with bare hands.
There is no dirtiness difference between gloves and hands the moment you put on the first or wash the second. And often, workers with gloves tend to not change it very often.
