Butter (82% milk fat) S

Description

1. Product Overview

This industrial butter contains a standardized 82% milk fat, anhydrous milk fat content, and controlled water dispersion. It is primarily used in laminated doughs, creams, and high-temperature baking applications where fat performance dictates texture and shelf life. The key value proposition is its batch-to-batch rheological consistency, which reduces production line recalibration. Strategically, it enables manufacturers to secure a premium, traceable dairy input amid volatile vegetable oil markets.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical composition: 82% milk fat, 15–16% water, 1–2% SNF (solids non-fat), natural diacetyl content < 2 ppm

• Purity level: Grade AA industrial, no added salt, preservatives, or emulsifiers

• Physical characteristics: Semi-solid block; light cream color; slip melting point 32–34°C; density 0.91 g/cm³ at 20°C

• Packaging options: 25 kg food-grade waxed cartons (inner polyethylene liner) or 200 kg stainless steel drums for bulk melt

• Shelf life: 18 months at ≤ -18°C; 3 months at +2°C to +4°C (unopened)

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Bakery & pastry: Laminating croissants and puff pastry – the 82% fat content ensures distinct layering without oiling out, outperforming margarine in flake crispness.

• Confectionery: Enrobing creams and pralines – its rapid mouth-clearance and sharp melting curve reduce waxy afterfeel compared to palm-based fats.

• Dairy recombining: Standardizing ice cream and chocolate compound coatings – the high butterfat binds air cells better, improving overrun efficiency by 8–12% versus lower-fat dairy blends.

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: ISO 17678-compliant fatty acid profile; < 0.1% free fatty acids per batch.

• Supply reliability: Dual sourcing from EU and NZ grass-fed cooperatives with 24/7 cold chain monitoring.

• Logistics capability: Containerized door-to-door under ATP-certified reefers (set point -20°C).

• Cost competitiveness: Direct mill pricing removes 2 layers of dairy trading margins.

• Sustainability: Traceable to farms with verified carbon reduction plans (SBTi targets).

5. Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum order quantity (MOQ): BULK 20 metric tons (mixed pallets allowed)

• Loading capacity: 24 MT per 20’ reefer container (max net weight)
