Baladi buffalo butter — 1 kg

365 EGP / kg

Baladi butter made from buffalo milk: creamy white, soft, and deeper and richer than any industrial butter — churned from the milk itself, so the milk comes through in the taste. Spread it on hot bread and fiteer, cook and finish sauces with it, use it in pastry and sweets, or melt it down to make your own samna. A spoonful in a tagine or over rice is a different thing entirely. Keep it refrigerated in a sealed box; if you buy the full kilo, portion it and freeze what you are not using. Leave it out for a few minutes if you want it spreadable. Cow butter is the lighter alternative.
