Flavor Notes: Earthy, milky, nutty, a quiet sweetness
Crumb: Bouncy, chewy, with a bronzed crust
Perfect for: Alongside Sopa Criolla, roast beef sandwiches, apple french toast
Corn is inherently fascinating to me: the way it reveals itself in color, flavor, and personality. Each shade hints at who it will become. Bloody Butcher corn, in particular, carries a depth that matches its blood-colored kernels: robust, tannic, and unapologetically bold. Many bakers find it difficult to work with, its flavor too assertive, too wild. But that’s exactly what makes it perfect for brioche; its richness and subtle sweetness are grounded, even tamed, by all the earthy base that Bloody Butcher provides.
Farm and Sparrow Bloody Butcher Corn
Asheville, North Carolina
Bloody Butcher is a classic mountain corn from the Appalachians: tall stalks bearing deep red, almost purple kernels, the color of blood. When milled, it yields a cornmeal with a rustic, spicy, and faintly tannic flavor, lending an earthy strength to even the simplest doughs.
