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.

    this man has been waiting to be interviewed like this for his entire life. an icon truly
  • @arforafro5523
    Forget about the butter, this video is all about this man's wisdom.
  • 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.
  • 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
  • @leasalles1098
    he didn't call them his staff, but his "collaborators" and "companions", such a good boss.
  • @dylanbailey8464
    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.
  • 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.
  • @ybg5717
    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.
  • @Jordak55
    The way he thanked his worker after demonstrating with his tools really shows what kind of boss he is.
  • @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.
  • @LemonheadFr
    This man reminds me of my boss. I work as a luthier/guitar-tech in a very small music shop in Britanny, France, and my boss has the same kind of humor and respect for his employees. He is a self-made man who worked his ass off to make his shop what it is now. I would not be there today without him, and I wish everyone to find a job where you feel trusted and valued by your boss.
  • @luysinh8
    Man, i cried a little bit when he said that he wouldn't replace his staff with machines
  • This may be the most French man, ever. The way he does it- It is lovely, and I’m glad he found a way to make the life around him a little more beautiful.
  • @SanTM
    What a character that guy is. He's honest that he's not trying to recreate the old butter, but using traditional methods to produce modern butter and you have to admire someone like that.
  • “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
  • They call the cutting machine Marie Antoinette 😂 This guy knows how to have fun. Lol
