Good morning, Mrs Crocombe!

早安，Crocombe女士！

I think I'd like some butter with herbs.

我感覺我想來一點有放香草的奶油。

Of course, would you prefer parsley or...thyme?

當然好啊，巴西里或是百里香你比較喜歡哪一個。

I think thyme. - Of course.

百里香好了。 好的。

Thank you dear. - Thank you, Mrs Crocombe. Good day.

謝謝你，親愛的。 不客氣，Crocombe女士，祝你有美好的一天。

Oh I do so like it when Mrs Crocombe comes to visit me here in the dairy

喔我好喜歡Crocombe女士來製酪坊見我。

and she trusts me, you know, so I was just going to make the normal standard batch of butter

而且她還十分信任我，你懂的，所以我原本打算做一批普通的奶油。

today but now she has asked for thyme butter, which is a speciality of mine

但今天她要求做有加百里香的奶油，這正好是我的擅長製作的東西。

And, if you would like, you can help me. But I will have to check that you have

如果你願意的話，你可以幫我。 但是我得先檢查你

scrubbed your hands and your nails. Alright? Follow me.

有沒有好好搓洗你的手及指甲 有了嘛？那跟我來。

There you are. Have you done your hands?

你在這。 你洗好你的手了嗎？

Good. So the first thing we must do is scald all of our equipment, so all of the utensils we

太棒了。我們首先要做的就是用沸水燙過我們等等要用的所有器具

are going to use. You're lucky because I have done the churn for you.

你挺幸運的因為我已經幫你用沸水燙過了攪乳器。

Alright, so...

好的，那...

Don't worry about your hands because we will have the buttermilk later on to

不用擔心你的手因為我們等等還有酪奶

soothe them. So once you've got your water in there, just cover it

可以慰勞你的雙手。所以等清洗過後，就用布將它們蓋上

so that they are as clean as possible.

能盡可能地確保它們保持乾淨

Ten years ago I used to work on a farm of five hundred acres, and I used to have

十年前我曾在一處50畝的農場上工作，而且我曾

to milk the cows myself. But here, at Audley End, the cowkeeper does that for me.

自己一個人擠牛奶。但在奧德莉莊園 牛奶是母牛的飼養員幫我擠的。

He brings me the milk, which I then leave to settle in pans overnight. The cream rises

他帶給我一些牛奶，之後我將它放在鍋子上並過夜等差沉澱。

to the top and I scrape that off into a jug and then pour the cream into the churn.

之後乳脂便會浮上來，我就可以把這些乳脂舀起來並放到攪乳器裡。

Now, I tend to pour it at quite a height so that it aerates, so that it turns quicker.

現在我試著倒到一個高度。我們打入空氣時它轉變得會比較快。

And now we're ready to begin churning.

現在我們就可以準備開始攪拌了。

So they key to making good butter is to have a measured and steady pace.

一個做出優質奶油的技巧就是規律的節奏。

We are very lucky here at Audley End House

我們在奧德莉莊園很幸運，

because our cows are Jersey herd, and they produce the best, the finest milk.

因為這邊的牛是娟珊牛，它們產出的是最棒的牛奶

So, the butter churning process can take anything up to 30 minutes to an hour

攪拌奶油的過程可以持續30分鐘至1小時

and it is dependent on the weather, amongst other things. You will feel

撇去其他因素，這過程也會看天氣。

resistance when stage one happens, which is the whipped-cream stage and I'm

第一階段時，你會感受到一點阻力，這是生奶油的階段

starting to feel that now so let's have a little look. And yes, here we have stage

我現在就感覺到阻力了，所以我們來看一下吧。沒錯，我們現在

one - whipped cream. So I think we have probably another 30 to 35 minutes to go.

來到了第一階段－－生奶油。我覺得我們要再攪拌30分至35分鐘

The second phase you need to look out for when you are making butter is when

在製作奶油的時候，你得留意一下奶油開始轉變的第二階段

it begins to turn. So you will feel a difference and you will hear a difference.

你會同時感覺到及聽到它的不同之處。

And when you go to look inside, you will see that the butter is

且當你往裡面看時，你會發現奶油

now slightly powdery so it is beginning to separate.

現在有些許顆粒狀的材質，這就是在說他已經開始要分離了。

It looks - forgive me - a little bit like baby sick!

我很抱歉，但它看起來－－有一點像是嬰兒的嘔吐物

And it is quite pungent to smell.

而且它的氣味十分濃烈。

Now you might be here for up to an hour, but I'll be honest with you.

現在你至少會在這邊待上一小時， 但是說實話

There are many things that can affect the butter - for example, stormy weather

有許多東西能影響奶油－－譬如暴風雨

or just your own mood, some people say.

或者單靠你的心情也會影響，有些人是這麼說的。

Sometimes in the winter we have to color

在冬天，我們有時還得為奶油上色

the butter. We tend to use marigolds because quite frankly using carrot juice

通常我們會用金盞花，因為老實說使用胡蘿蔔汁

makes the butter taste, well, like carrots.

會讓奶油嘗起來，嗯，像是胡蘿蔔。

The third phase you need to look out for

第三階段要注意的是

is when the butter milk and butter separate. Now you will hear this inside

當奶油以及酪奶分離的時候。屆時你就會在攪乳器

the churn and you will feel it. And I think we're ready - let's have a look.

聽到這聲音，並且你會感受到它。我覺得我們已經準備好了，現在來看一看吧。

Yes, we're ready. So the next thing to do is to drain the buttermilk.

是的，我們已經好了。 接下來的我們要做的就是瀝乾酪奶

Then, I will remove the paddle and then scoop out all of the butter. It is then

之後，我拿出攪拌槳並挖出奶油。

washed in spring water, and then drained.

奶油將會被泉水清洗乾淨後瀝乾。

Ah, there you are!

啊，原來你在這裡啊

Thank you for being so patient. It's just it takes about an hour or so

感謝你那麼有耐心。 它大約需要一小時左右

to have all of the water drain out of the butter, and it's important that we do

才可以從奶油中瀝出所有的水分，而且清洗奶油

wash it because we don't want it to go rancid. Then, you can add salt

是滿重要的步驟，這樣它才不會餿掉。之後，你就可以加上鹽

or, as Mrs Crocombe asked me earlier, thyme for the herbal butter.

或者，跟Crocombe女士稍早所吩咐我的一樣，百里香，如此一來就可以做出香草奶油。

So what needs to happen now is for it to be patted

現在我們需要做的就是輕拍它

and these are the butter pats which we scalded earlier.

這些是我們稍早用熱水燙過的奶油拍

So, the best thing to do is divide it into more manageable sized chunks

好，由於我們不太想把它搞得一糰糟，

because you don't want to make a mess.

最好的辦法是將其分成更容易於掌握的大小塊

Like so. And then just patting it to get rid

像是這樣。然後就輕拍它就可以

of any excess liquid.

去除掉多餘的水份。

This is the stage where we add salt or any other ingredients.

現階段就是我們加鹽以及其他材料的時候。

So, here is the normal butter that I make every single day here at Audley End House

好的，這裡的是我每天都會在奧德莉莊園製作的一般奶油

- just salted butter. And here is the butter that Mrs Crocombe asked me to

－－只有加鹽的奶油。而在這邊的是Crocombe女士今早吩咐我去

make this morning, made with thyme. And here is the butter that will be going up

用百里香製作的奶油。 然後這邊的奶油是等等會擺到首席上

to the top table for Lord and Lady Braybrooke. As you can see I have used

供Braybrooke老爺及夫人享用。就如你所見，

three separate molds.

我用了3種不同模具。

And there we have it

然後我們就完成啦。

- butter made here at Audley End House, courtesy of Lord and Lady Braybrooke's Jersey herd.

－－在奧德莉莊園製作的奶油，由Braybrooke老爺及夫人的娟珊牛群所提供
