Butter

The roots of our butter making skill go back more than 100 years. Valio was established in 1905 to promote the export of quality butter. Great Britain became Valio’s first export market and later, in 1908 export started to Russia. Today Valio butter is exported to nearly 30 countries.

Valio exports butter especially for use by industrial customers in Europe and Asia; Valio butter is used by bakeries, the processed food industry, ice cream makers, and dairies. Butter made from Finnish, high-quality milk can be tasted in croissants baked by some of the leading bakeries in France, for example.

Valio produces high quality Finnish butter for bakery industry professionals who appreciate its plasticity, consistency and superior taste.
