Butter Beurre d’Isigny und Sahne Crème d’Isigny AOP
The AOP area borders the bay of Les Veys with a lush grassland. The cows give milk that gives Isigny butter and cream an incomparable aroma. Made from cream and aged for at least 12 hours, Isigny butter is known for its natural buttercup color and subtle hazelnut flavor. For its part, the cream has a wonderful freshness and is the queen of Normandy cuisine.
The butter Beurre d'Isigny and the cream Crème d'Isigny have been labeled with the European seal AOP (Protected Designation of Origin) since 1986.
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".
