Butter Bresse butter and Sahne Bresse cream AOP
Cream and butter from Bresse base their reputation on this natural landscape. The traditional manufacturing process makes the butter particularly soft, smooth and airy. There are two types of cream with the Bresse designation of origin: a "semi-épaisse", which is characterized by its smoothness and sweetness, and an "épaisse", which is thicker in consistency.
The Beurre de Bresse butter and the Crème de Bresse cream have been labeled with the European AOP (Protected Designation of Origin) seal since 2014.
The red European AOP seal (appellation d'origine protégée = "protected designation of origin") guarantees the consumer that all production stages take place exclusively in the defined geographical area of the designation, from the production of the milk to the maturing of the cheese.
In France, 45 types of cheese, 3 types of butter and 2 types of cream are labeled with the European seal "AOP".
