Our Signature
Our signature line. Made by hand at the shop every morning — slow, careful, the long way. Nothing added, nothing rushed.
Granulated, golden, hand-prepared daily.
Hand-prepared at the shop every morning, slow-cooked from fresh white butter. The way it sets, the way it smells, the way it lifts a hot dish — that is what nearly a century of doing the same thing the same way gets you.
Soft, snow-white, brought to the shop fresh.
Soft, snow-white butter, kept fresh and sold fresh. The same butter that goes into our ghee — and the same butter our regulars have been picking up off this counter for generations.
