DONNYBREWER BUTTER
Donnybrewer Butter is made the good old-fashioned way. It’s churned in small batches with the freshest cream available. The buttermilk is washed off in clean, cold water before the butter is sea-salted. It’s then formed into a distinctive hexagonal shape before being packaged in waxed paper- just like they used to do.
Husband and wife, Richard and Alison Leighton are both from Eglinton and both from farming backgrounds. They have qualifications in Agriculture so they have an understanding of the factors affecting the compositional quality of the cream used to make the butter. Alison’s grandparents used to demonstrate churning of butter. Her father inherited the churn which he brought out Christmas 2010 to make some butter- this ignited their interest in churning. They are passionate about good quality local food, produced as naturally as possible using natural ingredients.
