LESCURE
AN EXCEPTIONAL BUTTER
In 1884, Baron Léon Lescure founded one of the first creameries in the Charente region. Milk from surrounding farms is transformed with respect for ancestral know-how: a finely mastered technique with meticulous attention at every stage.


In 1979, Charentes-Poitou Butter was first awarded PDO status, and in 1996, it became the very first butter to receive PDO status. Charentes-Poitou PDO butter meets precise specifications, ensuring quality. It originates from a rich terroir nestled between land and sea, combining fertile soil and mild climate. This region, located in western France, includes five departments: Charente, Charente-Maritime, Deux Sèvres, Vienne, and Vendée.
The full flavor of this terroir is present in Lescure butter. Its generous soil produces nutrient-rich fodder, imparting remarkable flavor to the milk. Before becoming butter, the cream undergoes a slow, natural biological maturation of at least 16 hours after specific ferments are added. This secret process imparts authenticity, giving Lescure butter its unique hazelnut taste.


Thus, choosing Lescure butter is meaningful for bakers and pastry chefs globally. Lescure is a brand esteemed by professionals, a benchmark from France to South Korea.
