The French Food Festival was bustling with excitement

As this year marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France, and considering my passion as a food blogger, especially for French butter, how could I not attend the FRENCH HOUSE French Food Festival held at Beijing's DT51? I thought the recent hot weather would deter people from attending, but to my surprise, it was packed with visitors. The suburban garden market showcased a variety of products, from French bread, wine, cheese, dried sausages, coffee machines, to tableware, all reflecting France's love for cuisine and its romantic essence. What excited me the most was participating in the themed workshop's interactive sharing: a French butter gourmet luncheon. I tried a limited-edition cocktail made with butter as the main ingredient, which brought a smoother texture and more layered flavors to the drink. I also tasted different flavored butters, such as black pepper, lemon, and seaweed, spread on thin baguettes, which were both delicious and convenient. On the occasion of Fouquet's 25th anniversary, the food festival also set up a pop-up store, and Chef VICTOR demonstrated classic French meals made with butter, deepening our understanding of French butter. In fact, whether it's for my live broadcasts or the butter used in my coffee shop, I've always used French butter. I knew that French butter was fermented and had a unique aroma, and its quality and safety were assured. At the butter workshop of the French Food Festival, I learned that producing one kilogram of French butter requires 22 liters of milk. From the feeding of the cows to production and barrel fermentation, it has a long history and a rigorous and comprehensive system. French butter contains more than 82% natural milk fat and more than 2% natural vitamins A, D, and minerals. Consuming 20-30 grams of butter daily can actually provide a good supplement of trace elements needed by the human body. Moreover, as a food enthusiast, butter is not only used in baking but also in cooking dishes and even making drinks. It can be integrated into various culinary creations, embodying versatility and inclusiveness. At this French Food Festival, I not only saw and experienced many French brands in the market but also witnessed the art of French cuisine on display, including works inspired by French butter, exuding a sense of luxury.
