The classic French repertoire contains approximately forty compound butters. Some of these, such as maître d’ butter (beurre maître d’hôtel) and Montpellier Butter, continue to be widely used, whereas others, though more obscure, provide inspiration by reminding us of sometimes exotic combinations that can be expressed in today’s style.
