Paris opens first butter boutique with 30 varieties
Paris has opened Le Butter Shop, the city’s first boutique dedicated entirely to butter, offering 30 varieties from small producers and allowing customers to sample by the spoon before purchasing in sizes from 10 grams to a kilogram near the Eiffel Tower. The shop spotlights France’s butter culture, with flavors ranging from classic to sweet and savory, a wine-like tasting approach from owner Erwan Leo, and plans for future flavors, amid a backdrop of high per-person butter consumption and a relatively low obesity rate.
