Plugrá

Plugrá is a brand of butter that is often used in professional cooking and baking due to its high butterfat content. The name "Plugrá" is derived from the French phrase "plus gras", which translates to "more fat". This is a reference to the product's higher fat content compared to regular butter.

Composition

Plugrá butter contains 82% butterfat, which is slightly higher than the 80% required by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for a product to be labeled as butter. This higher fat content results in a product that is creamier and richer in flavor. The butter is made from cow's milk, and it is available in both salted and unsalted varieties.

Uses

Due to its high fat content, Plugrá butter is often used in professional baking and cooking. The higher fat content results in baked goods that are more tender and have a richer flavor. It is also used in sauces and other dishes where a rich, creamy texture is desired.

Production

Plugrá butter is produced using a slow-churn process, which results in a product that is creamier and less watery than regular butter. The butter is also made from fresh cream, which contributes to its rich flavor.

Health considerations

While Plugrá butter is richer in flavor due to its higher fat content, it also contains more calories and saturated fat than regular butter. Therefore, it should be used in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
