Abernethy Salted Butter is a handcrafted, cultured butter of exceptional quality, made from the finest locally sourced cream and processed using traditional methods to preserve its rich and natural flavor. Each roll of this butter is carefully churned in small batches, hand-washed to remove any traces of buttermilk, lightly salted, and shaped with wooden paddles, giving it a smooth yet firm texture and a distinctive rustic appearance.
Its creamy consistency and full, milky taste make it the perfect choice for spreading on fresh bread, cooking, baking, and preparing a wide variety of gourmet dishes. The natural sea salt is added in precise amounts to enhance the flavor without overpowering the subtle dairy notes that make this butter truly unique.
This butter is 100% natural, free from additives and preservatives, making it the ideal choice for those who appreciate high-quality, artisanal dairy products crafted with care and passion.
Producer
Abernethy Butter is a family-run artisanal dairy. It was founded by husband-and-wife team Will and Allison Abernethy, who transformed their passion for traditional butter-making into a successful business.
Their butter is handcrafted using traditional methods from fresh cream sourced from a local farmer, whose cows graze on the lush green fields of the Lagan Valley. The production process involves slow churning in small batches, which gives the butter its characteristic color and rich flavor. After churning, the butter is hand-washed to remove any remaining buttermilk, lightly salted, and shaped using traditional wooden paddles. In addition to their classic salted and unsalted butter, Abernethy Butter offers specialty varieties, including black truffle butter, butter with dulse seaweed and Irish sea salt, black garlic butter, and a seasonal Christmas butter infused with dates, rum, and spices. Thanks to their commitment to quality and dedication to preserving traditional techniques, Abernethy Butter has become a symbol of exceptional handcrafted butter, highly regarded among gastronomy enthusiasts and professional chefs alike.
