The right butter really does matter — especially as you roll into Thanksgiving cooking mode.

Meet the Wedgewood Five: Five butters. Five moods. From the workhorses to the show ponies — and where and when they shine. For a deeper dive, head to our Wedgewords blog where we break down how (and why) to use the right one for the right dish.

Because whether you’re basting a bird, baking a pie, or finishing vegetables, the right butter turns cooking into alchemy.

Which butter personality are you? Let us know in the comments.

✨ The Minimalist – Butter of Parma
Delicate, unsalted, and beautifully malleable — for control, clarity, and transformation.

💛 The Romantic – Isigny Ste-Mère, Normandy
Soft, indulgent, and impossibly charming. Cultured and golden from sea air and grass.

🐎 The Workhorse – Welsh & Irish Butters
Bold, golden, and reliable. The butter that shows up every day and never disappoints.

💫 The Purist – Amish Butter
High-fat, slow-melting, endlessly forgiving. Sweet cream churned on small farms.

👑 The Diva – Bordier, Brittany
Exuberant, briny, and hand-kneaded to perfection. High-maintenance and worth the trouble.

The holidays are when butter earns its keep. It’s in every pie crust and pan sauce, every biscuit, bake, and compound spread. It’s the difference between fine and unforgettable. So before you dive into the season of baking, basting, and entertaining, it’s worth knowing a little more about the quiet hero behind it all — and how to choose the right butter for the right moment.

Because there’s butter, and then there’s ✨butter ✨ The kind that makes you stop mid-sentence, wondering how something so simple can taste so layered. In this week’s blog, I trace the moment that changed everything — from my toddler’s noodles in Charleston to the French coastal pastures of Isigny — and break down what really separates the extraordinary from the everyday.

We’ll talk about the four forces that make great butter what it is — grass, culture, salt, and fat — and introduce you to The Wedgewood Five: the five butters we almost always have on hand, from the delicate to the diva, the ones that carry us through every season and every sauce.

It’s a love letter to cultured butter, the lost art of fermentation, and why some butters ruin you for all the rest.

For the planners, a friendly Thanksgiving PSA:
Our Thanksgiving menu is now live and accepting preorders for cheese boards, wine bundles, and a few other delicious tricks to make hosting easier (and way prettier).

✨ For the Table — Boards worth gathering around. Choose from The Bits, The Wedge, or The Full Wheel — artisan cheeses, charcuterie, and seasonal accompaniments, ready to serve.

🧈 For the Sides — Butters, creams, and cheeses that level up the classics. From Isigny Ste-Mère whipped cream for pies to Maison Bordier cultured butter fo well, everything, and our Melting Trio for mac & cheese or potatoes au gratin.

🎁 For the Host — Gift boxes that say thank you with taste. Three Thanksgiving cheeses, jam, and crackers — or upgrade to the Deluxe Host Box with two perfectly paired wines.

🍷 For the Glass — Curated wine packs for every course: a 3-bottle trio, half case, or full case to carry you from prep to pie.

🔥 For the Day After — Raclette and fondue kits, because the leftovers deserve better.

Preorders are open now — quantities are limited, and these always go fast.

And for the procrastinators: we got you. Ordering is open through November 21.

“Diners experience that thought and care in dishes like the Wedgewood Caesar salad showered with bright orange Mimolette, or the pimento cheese made with Quicke’s English cheddar. And there’s the “omaqueso,” a nod to the Japanese omakase style of coursed dining, an offer that it’s safe to say exists nowhere else in the Triangle, let alone the state.”
