Butter for pastry - a sustainable replacement
Since the Middle Ages, the fundamentals of pastry have not changed. Water, flour, a bit of salt and many animal– derived ingredients. However, the world has changed, and so should we. We believe that pastry should not depend so heavily on animal-derived ingredients. To help you evolve, we developed Be Better plant-butter. an exceptional butter alternative that gives you all the good stuff from cow-butter, but none of the bad. Be Better plant-butter gives you all the convenience and quality of cow-butter with none of the guilt, since our product is 100% made of plants. Let’s start to create and enjoy more sustainable pastry.
Classic pastry recipe with a modern and optimised sustainable butter
Butter is a critical component of pastry and to start making the positive changes, we developed a plant-butter that functions as a 1-on-1 replacement. Using carefully selected plants, Be Better plant-butter melts similarly to cow-butter and has a neutral taste and a mouthfeel that is more fresh and light than cow-butter.
Join us in starting a plant based pastry revolution. It’ll be fun- and tasty!
In charge of your creations flavour
Be Better plant-based butter alternative has been designed and perfected for use in baking and pastry. As a high-performing vegan butter substitute, it doesn’t rely on flavourings to mimic cow-butter, instead, it offers a clean, neutral flavour. This makes it a perfect ingredient that won’t mask the fine flavours of e.g. fruits, chocolate and spices. This means you can make pure, honest pastry – 100% natural, 0% cow.
