French Butter with Sea Salt Crystals

French Butter with Sea Salt Crystals is a 250 g spread made from cow’s milk butter, marketed by Waitrose and produced in France. Belonging to the “Fat and sauces” family, it delivers 80 g of fat (including 55 g saturated fat) and 3 g of salt per 100 g, while providing only 1 g of sugars and 0.7 g of protein, resulting in a Nutri‑Score of E and a NOVA classification of 2, indicating a minimally processed product but with a high energy density. The high saturated‑fat and salt levels make it unsuitable for low‑fat or low‑sodium diets, although its simple butter base and vegetarian label may appeal to those seeking a pure dairy spread, and the compostable sleeve offers a modest environmental benefit.
