Why use butter in baking?
Butter gives the melt-in-the-mouth effect naturally.
- With butter you get a rich and aromatic flavour without any E codes or artificial ingredients or artificial flavour enhancers. It’s always all natural.
- Butter carries all other flavours. Whether your product has fruit, berries, vanilla or chocolate, butter naturally enhances those flavours.
- Butter has a lower melting point than margarine, which does wonders to the mouthfeel.
- Using butter in industrial baking allows manufacturers to position their products as high-end and luxurious, appealing to customers who are willing to pay more for superior taste and quality.
The product and process determine what is required of the butter.
Croissants, puff pastry and other laminated doughs
The amount of butter used in the puff pastry affects how easy it is to roll, how flaky it is, how well the pastries bake, and their taste and colour.
Biscuits
Valio butter creates delicious taste and great crispiness to biscuits.

ABC of using butter
- Butter lubricates the gluten network in doughs, making it more elastic for easier shaping.
- Butter gives products their typical texture: flakiness in products that are rolled, crispiness and fluffiness in products that are frothed.
- The temperature of the butter is important. Butter needs to be tempered to the correct temperature for different types of products.
