Beurre d'Isigny
Beurre d'Isigny is a type of cow's milk butter made in the area and the valleys of the rivers running into it, comprising several French communes surrounding Isigny-sur-Mer and straddling the Manche and Calvados departments of northern France.
The butter has a natural golden colour as a result of high levels of carotenoids. The butter contains 82% fatty solids and is rich in oleic acid and minerals salts (particularly sodium). These salts provide flavour and a long shelf-life.
The local
D'Isigny
D'Isigny was a soft, creamy American cheese, bearing a close resemblance to imported Brie, but made by a process similar to that for Camembert and put up in Camembert shape, though a little larger – about thick and across, wrapped in paper and weighing about a pound. It takes its name from Isigny-sur-Mer, in Calvados, Normandy, France, a center of dairy products such as "beurre d'Isigny" and "crème d'Isigny".
