Directly Savor the Fragrance and "Caramelized" Taste of Baked Sweets
National Department Store's "Beurre Aromatisé," made with domestic fermented butter blended with nuts and dried fruits, has become popular as "snack butter."
The new "Brûlée Quatre" combines four types of caramelized ingredients reminiscent of financiers, florentines, crème brûlée, and salted caramel, creating a gourmet butter that evokes the happiness of eating sweets.
Its distinctive pyramid shape is designed to increase surface area and speed up drying by removing excess moisture. Himalayan rock salt scattered on the surface draws out moisture from within the butter while absorbing it, creating an even richer flavor.
Inside, it's packed with roasted nuts including walnuts, cashews, and almonds, along with caramelized Hokkaido beet sugar candy. It also incorporates browned butter and French Guérande salted caramel, sealed within the fermented butter. This preserves the fresh aroma of baked sweets, which can degrade over time, allowing you to directly enjoy the "caramelized" flavor without compromise.
With packaging inspired by the leather pouches used for butter-making in ancient Arabia, the "Beurre Aromatisé Brûlée Quatre" is also perfect as a gift. Following its initial sale on the EC site, sales began at the Okayama and Tokyo stores on November 30th (Friday).
