Bordier Madagascar Vanilla Butter

Tasting Notes from the Curator

Explore a sensorial journey with Bordier’s Madagascar Vanilla Butter, where the silky opulence of artisanally churned butter elegantly intertwines with the deep, sweet perfumes of Madagascar vanilla. Crafted following ancient methods, this butter exudes the primary aroma of vanilla - sweet, creamy, and intense, underlaid with subtle floral and gentle woody hints, reminiscent of the vanilla orchid’s own growth story. The tasting spectrum continues to tantalize as vanilla sweetness provides the opening note, set against a backdrop of buttery richness that forms a luxurious foundation. Saltiness peeks through, enhancing flavors, while caramel hints add dessert-like complexity and nutty undertones echo the natural fats’ richness. Texture is critical, and here it reigns supreme - creamy yet firm when chilled, melting tenderly into a silken pool at room temperature, ready to augment any culinary canvas it graces.
