Plugrá, (pronounced PLOO GRA), 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.

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.

Plugrá butter contains less water than regular butter. Lower moisture means that cakes will rise higher, cookies will crisp more evenly and pie crusts or croissants will be flakier. A higher butterfat content means that all your baked goods will taste better when baked with Plugrá butter.

Comments about Plugra Unsalted Butter:

I needed 'Dry" butter (low in moister and high in fat content) for my croissant and flaky pastries as recommended by the french bakers. The only butter I was able to buy was Plugra. I was skeptical because the butter description did not mention specifically "DRY" but said it was low moisture content, and it was very affordable, cheeper than some of my favorite french table butters. I both it, used it both for baking and spreading and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! Will buy the same butter again!

Believe it!

Comments about Plugra Unsalted Butter:

I started cooking when I was 5 (over 35 years now). I have tried a myriad of butters over the years, and I have never found one I could say WOW to! Plugra is amazing! It changed the textures and tastes of my foods and desserts.
Plugra absolutely makes things creamier as well!
I am not one to "gush" over a product, and I am a hard sell when it comes to referring products.
This one?? BUY it! You will never use another butter, and if you do, you will be disappointed.

Great
