European Style Butter

Purchase European style when you want to add extra richness to your recipes.

Many chefs prefer European Style butter because it makes flakier pastries, smoother sauces, and more savory seafood, meat, and vegetable dishes. The added flavor comes from additional fat content. Challenge European Style Butter is Grade AA and is 83% butterfat versus 80% for regular butter. It is made by churning cream slower and longer in the age-old tradition of fine European butter. It has a creamier taste and a silkier texture. You can use European Style Butter in place of regular butter in recipes for a bolder, richer flavor.
