What is Charentes-Poitou PDO butter?

Charentes-Poitou butter is the first French butter to be awarded the PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) label. Located between land and sea, it comprises the largest PDO territory in France (Vendée, Deux-Sèvres, Vienne, Charente-Maritime, and Charente).

Its very strict specifications result in a high-quality butter with a unique hazelnut flavor and a dry butter texture recognized by baking and pastry professionals. 

The Charentes-Poitou Butter PDO also includes:
