Salted butter caramel from Brittany is a true culinary specialty, emblematic of this beautiful region. This sweet delight, which combines the sweetness of caramel with the richness of salted butter, has captured the hearts of gourmands around the world.

Origin and IngredientsTraditionally, caramel is prepared with sugar, crème fraîche and butter, but what distinguishes salted butter caramel is the addition of semi-salted butter, often from local Breton producers. Guérande salt, renowned for its quality, brings a touch of originality and highlights the flavors, thus creating a perfect contrast between sweet and salty.

ManufacturingThe preparation begins by melting the sugar until you obtain a golden caramel. Then, we add the hot cream, which causes a reaction that makes the mixture bubble. Once the cream is well integrated, the butter and Guérande salt are added, creating a creamy texture and an irresistible taste. The trick to making this caramel a success is to carefully monitor the temperature and cooking, in order to obtain the right consistency.

UsesSalted butter caramel is extremely versatile. You can enjoy it on pancakes, waffles or even as a spread on fresh bread. It also works wonders in desserts: topped with chocolate fondant, incorporated into a mousse, or even as a topping for macaroons. In addition, it can be used to add a gourmet touch to ice creams or yogurts.

Events and Culture In Brittany, salted butter caramel is often associated with festivals and local markets. Many artisans and producers have specialized in its manufacture, offering varied recipes and sometimes even variations with flavors such as vanilla or coffee.
