European Style Butter
European-style butter is a high-fat dairy product traditionally made from cultured cream, containing 82-86% butterfat compared to the 80% in standard American butter. Its extended churning process and bacterial culture development create a richer, tangier flavor profile and pliable texture that enhances laminated pastries and sauces. This butter’s concentrated fat content makes it particularly valued in professional baking for creating flakier layers in croissants and more stable emulsions.
