This is a butter block for our croissants that we make from Plugra butter. The butter is great. It is super flavorful and has great baking characteristics. BUT, sometimes we get a case that is just different.
You can see here that the butter on the left is smooth and pliable, but the butter on the right is watery and shattered. Both are plugra handled in the same way, but from different cases.
We can compensate a little by using the butter warmer, but the dough doesn't really like to be warm.
Understanding that we are working with natural raw products is important. It means our products are not always going to be the same because the raw ingredients aren't always the same, and thats ok. It makes the good bakes worth celebrating because EVERYTHING was just right. From the raw ingredients, through the process, and to the end result.
Always pushing for excellence.
