In a classical cuisine kitchen, it is customary for the Master Chef to pass on certain proprietary recipes to their apprentices. Each restaurant usually had its own unique compound butter used for topping meat and inclusion in other dishes.
You'll appreciate the rich history behind our signature Cafe de Paris butter, inspired by the original butter at the restaurant bearing the same name in Geneva, Switzerland. With Bifrost Butters, you're not just buying a product; you're investing in a culinary tradition that allows you to create restaurant-quality dishes in your own kitchen.
Joel got this recipe from his Swiss Chef mentor when working at the Les Continents Restaurant of the Intercontinental Hotel, almost 40 years ago.
Unlike most compound butters, Cafe de Paris is much more than an "herb" butter. Its confidential recipe makes Cafe de Paris the outstanding finishing touch for any dish. The melding of these ingredients cause it to form a buttery glaze over the top of your star attraction when placed under a broiler and allowed to melt and caramelize. Try the culinary magic of Cafe de Paris.
We guarantee you will never taste anything like it anywhere else. It was originally created as a unique sauce for steak, but honestly, it enhances any dish.
Suggested Uses:
- On top of grilled steaks for a restaurant-quality finish.
- Use as a finishing touch on roasted vegetables.
- Spread on pancakes or waffles for a savory twist.
- Place on a butter board as the star of the show.
"Our Cafe de Paris Butter is a culinary tradition that allows you to create restaurant-quality dishes in your own kitchen. It's complex flavor profile is unmatched and impossible to replicate with store-bought alternatives."
