Candia Professional is a 51-year-old brand that leans on the collective cattle-raising knowledge of these 12,541 farms, gathered under its parent company and France’s largest dairy cooperative, Sodiaal. It is Candia’s unwavering commitment to these farmers that allows the brand to churn out some of the best butter known to man, using only milk that can be traced every step of the way back to the cow it came from. Take the brand’s Extra Taste Incorporation Butter for example. It is pure, unadulterated goodness through and through, hewn purely from French cream within 72 hours of harvest. This guarantees a fresh tasting product that uplifts, rather than obscures, the flavours of other ingredients in recipes it is used in. It is also rich and, well, buttery smooth with a consistent texture throughout – excellent for any and all applications including pastries, biscuits, cakes or sauces. It could even be the base of your next butter board – we won’t judge.
