Even if the artisan’s handiwork remains a secret, the key ingredient is without a doubt butter. Prized by the top pastry chefs and bakers in France (MOF), Lescure PDO Charentes-Poitou butter sheet offers incredible plasticity for giving the dough its turns and lends exceptional flavour to the pastry and the filling.
Charentes-Poitou butter PDO, Lescure meets strict specifications, both in terms of where the milk comes from as well as how the butter is made.
Each step, from collecting the milk to churning the cream, including the selection of lactic ferments and how long the cream is allowed to ripen, is closely supervised in order to develop maximum flavour.
That is why the resulting butter is exceptional, with an unrivalled flavour of hazelnuts and a firm yet supple texture that ensures uniformity when giving the pastry dough its turns.
