Salted Bordier Butter contains 4% salt. The first role of salt in butter was to preserve it. This is because the fat molecules take on the salt as an attack, and by reaction rejects the water it contains, which accelerates the aging of the butter.

This ancestral method was used where salt was abundant and exempt from gabelle (salt tax), such as in the West and the North of France, regions which are still important producers of salted butter today. Today, salted butter is called butter that exceeds 3% salt content.
