What is the AOP butter Charentes-Poitou ?
AOP Charentes-Poitou butter is made exclusively from milk cream from the departments of Charente, Charente-Maritime, Deux-Sèvres, Vienne and Vendée. Thanks to a slow phase of biological maturation of the cream, specific to Charentes-Poitou AOP butter, its personality asserts itself.
