Plugrá an über Butter!



Doing lots of baking for the holidays? Making lots of cake cash? Using the best ingredients you can afford ensures that your beautifully decorated cakes will taste as scrumptious as they look. Chef Jean Fougere recomends Plugrá unsalted butter for baking. Luckily, Plugrá is available to the home baker at fine supermarkets. Plugrá is a European style butter lower in moisture and higher in butterfat than conventional butters. Plugrá butter imparts a richer taste and smoother texture to foods and is long preferred by leading chefs, bakers, confectioners and anyone who appreciates fine food.

What's the difference between Plugrá and regular butter? Regular butter contains 80% butterfat. The remaining 20% consists of water and milk solids. Plugrá European style butter contains 2% more butterfat and is slow-churned in a way that creates a lower-moisture, creamier texture than other butters. In the preparation of baked goods any time a recipe calls for butter, try unsalted Plugrá butter. This allows you to control the salt content like a professional baker or chef.
