How Traditional French Butter Is Made In Brittany | Regional Eats

Insider's Claudia Romeo traveled to Brittany, France to meet with Jean-Yves Bordier, a butter artisan who brought back to France the 19th-century technique of malaxage, using a big wooden wheel to knead the butter. To Jean-Yves, the malaxage is a more romantic way to make butter. At his workshop, everything is churned, kneaded, and shaped by hand.

That's man loves his butter and loves what he does.

[ashleyarp]

this man has been waiting to be interviewed like this for his entire life. an icon truly

[arforafro]

Forget about the butter, this video is all about this man's wisdom.

[ChubbyAmadeusFan]

The butter maker, Jean Yves, said the most important thing is emotions. "I'm a little man, making little things". What a sweet and gentle man. A true artisan who loves his craft and the people who work for him.

[leasalles]

he didn't call them his staff, but his "collaborators" and "companions", such a good boss.

[Jordak]

The way he thanked his worker after demonstrating with his tools really shows what kind of boss he is.

[kaylachau]

This man’s passion is so precious and impressive. He truly believes in his products, and it shows in the quality.

[DayneandtheStars]

By the end (14:25), the subtitles read "staff" but really he calls them "mon collaborateur... mon compagnon" which actually means "my collaborators... my companions" and that is so so sweet 😭😭😭 they aren't people working for him, they are people working with him. This amout of respect in the workplace is so rare nowadays. Machine operated factories really dehumanized laborers 😔 Wish we could all have bosses like him

[henris]

This is one of those cultured, charismatic, and well-spoken individuals you’ll only ever meet in an ancient little European village

[norainnoflowers]

“Watch Out!! there’s seagulls flying”

oh my god i love this guy. you go butter making man. the internet loves you and your cause

[RavenDarknyte]

Imagine having such a warm and positive working environment. This guy really gets it.

[dylanbailey]

The part at the end where he talks about how if he replaced all his employees with machines, that he'd make more money and butter but nothing would ever happen in his factory really spoke to me. Pure poetry.

[kyleloudon]

“I always do the opposite of what I am told, and this way I can understand.” That’s actually a beautiful quote

[ybg]

This guy is hilarious. Half of his jokes just flew right over her head. "You don't have wet feet?" lololol and he was just warming up. This is a man that has never worked a day in his life.

[jasminenicolec]

“Do you hear the noise? When my butter sings, it cries.” Wow!

[michaelgauthier]

The guy who runs this butter-shop seems like a neat guy. He really appreciates his staff it looks like, talking about how unique and important each job is, going as far as thanking the guy with the paddles for interrupting his work to show how important it is.

[luysinh]

Man, i cried a little bit when he said that he wouldn't replace his staff with machines

[lignenox]

"We love our bread, we love our butter.
But most of all, we love each other."

[studiogillian]

I am actually crying. People with so much passion overwhelm me. I wish to have the same passion as him.

[wcookiv]

Imagine a world where everyone could pursue whatever they love as much as this guy loves making butter, without worrying about going broke, hungry, or homeless.
