Premium taste and texture
Valio butter performs optimally in bakery applications.
Superior taste with real butter
The goodness of real, natural butter cannot be substituted in baking. No plant-based oil or margarine gives croissants or pastries the taste and texture that butter does. Butter is an important ingredient in baking and its quality is of great significance.
In puff pastry and other laminated doughs, butter needs to have plasticity for flaky and light texture. In shortbread, the taste of the butter and the crumbly texture play a significant role.
Valio butter gives your products an inimitable taste of butter, great texture, and a deliciously golden-brown appearance. Premium Valio butter does it naturally with no additives. We have over 100 years of experience in manufacturing butter that performs optimally in each bakery application.
