Frequently asked questions.
Is plant-based butter the same as vegan butter?
By composition, often yes, both are non-dairy. By proposition, no. A vegan butter is built to serve a
vegan diet. A plant-based butter for professional pastry, like Be Better, is built to serve the pastry. Be
Better is plant-derived because that is what the application needed not the other way around.
Can plant-based butter laminate?
Most can’t, at chef-grade definition. Be Better Puff Block and 80% Plate are composed in the sheeter, in production, by chefs running industrial croissant lamination at sixteen to thirty-six layers and puff at a hundred and beyond. The plasticity, layer definition and fold behaviour are documented in working production.
Is plant-based butter healthier than dairy butter?
Be Better carries zero cholesterol and 30–50% less saturated fat per hundred grams than dairy
butter, with close to three times more unsaturated fat. However, we are still a fat and indulgence is
key. Pastry is not healthy, but we do our best to make it less unhealthy.
What is plant-based butter made from?
Be Better is a composed blend of wild-harvested shea, sunflower, coconut and rapeseed. Each fat is chosen for what it does in pastry and quieted so your craft can lead. No hydrogenated fats. No artificial flavours. No emulsifiers in the 100% Block. Full breakdown is in the technical specification
for every product.
Where can I buy plant-based butter for professional pastry?
