Plugra

Plugra is a premium butter brand that is popular among both professional chefs and home cooks in the United States. While it is not an American brand in the traditional sense, as it is owned by the German dairy company Deutsche Milchkontor (DMK), Plugra butter is widely available and recognized in the American market.

Plugra is known for its high butterfat content, typically around 82-83%, which is higher than standard butter. This elevated butterfat content contributes to its rich and creamy texture, making it a preferred choice for baking, cooking, and spreading.

The name "Plugra" is derived from the French term "plus gras," meaning "more fat." This name reflects its defining characteristic of having a higher fat content, resulting in a more decadent and flavorful butter. The increased butterfat gives Plugra butter a smooth consistency and a luxurious mouthfeel, making it a popular choice for creating rich and indulgent dishes.

Plugra butter is made using traditional European butter-making techniques. It is churned slowly and patiently, allowing the flavors to develop fully. This process contributes to the butter's distinctively rich and buttery taste.

While Plugra is primarily known for its unsalted butter, they also offer a salted variety for those who prefer a touch of salt in their butter. The brand is known for its consistent quality and is often favored by professional bakers for its reliable performance in creating flaky pastries, tender cakes, and other baked goods.
