Expertise Dedicated To Taste & Functionality

Rich & authentic taste of fresh cream lamination butter, an essential for bakery & pastry Chefs

François Daubinet

Butter is a cornerstone of my pastry expression. It is a living, noble ingredient that brings not only texture and flavor but also emotion. In every layer, every dough, every cream, it acts as a bridge between technique and sensitivity. It tells a story that is authentic, generous, and deeply French.
François Daubinet, Ambassadeur Elle & Vire Professionnel®

Top-quality creams, made from meticulously selected fresh milk and lactic ferments, are combined in a process unique to Elle & Vire Professionnel®, thanks to perfectly mastered churning and texturizing. Making butter in this way guarantees a top-quality product. Approximately 22 liters of milk are needed to produce 2 liters of cream and 1 kg of butter.

This delicious creamy taste and the technical qualities of Elle & Vire Professionnel® gourmet butter make the job of even the most demanding Chefs much easier and guarantee a finished product of excellent quality.

With the perfect firmness and plasticity balance, Elle & Vire Professionnel® Extra Dry Butter 84% MF is the perfect solution for proper layering.
