WTB Episode 1: The Art of Sourdough Butter 🍞🧈

Sourdough and butter are a match made in heaven — but when you pair artisan sourdough with VG Saveur premium butter, something truly magical happens.

What You'll Need

• 100g VG Saveur premium butter, softened
• 1 loaf of fresh sourdough bread
• 1 tsp flaky sea salt
• Optional: 1 tsp honey or fresh herbs for a flavoured finish

Method

1. Soften the butter — Remove from the fridge 30–45 minutes before serving. Good butter deserves to be at its best.
2. Slice the sourdough — Cut thick, generous slices. The crust should crackle, the crumb should be open and airy.
3. Spread generously — Apply a thick layer of VG Saveur butter while the bread is still slightly warm. Let it melt into every crevice.
4. Finish & serve — A pinch of flaky sea salt on top, or a drizzle of honey if you prefer a sweet note. Serve immediately.

Why This Combination Works

The natural tang of sourdough is the perfect counterpoint to the rich, creamy depth of premium butter. VG Saveur butter's high fat content means it melts beautifully into warm bread, creating a flavour that's simple yet unforgettable. This is cooking at its most honest — and most delicious.
