Le Vieux-Bourg is a Breton butter maker rooted in Plœuc-l’Hermitage, where traditional double churning and hand finishing give its butter a naturally creamy texture and expressive dairy character.

Founded in 1956, Le Vieux-Bourg preserves a distinctive Breton approach to churned butter. The cream rests between two passes through the churn, a method used to build texture and aroma before the butter is shaped and wrapped by hand. Alongside classic demi-sel butter, the maison creates a gourmet collection inspired by ingredients such as wild pepper, Viking salt, buckwheat, and seaweed. Its work reflects the generous, practical spirit of Brittany: excellent butter made for bread, seafood, cooking, and the pleasure of sharing at the table.
