Cold butter (for the crumble)

Description

Cold butter (for crumble) has a delicate, buttery flavor with a hint of milky sweetness and a light, crumbly, almost creamy color. In the form of cubes or grated cold fat, it creates characteristic pieces in the crumble, which after baking become golden and crunchy, adding a pleasant texture and aroma to baked goods. Nutritionally, it is a concentrated source of saturated fats and energy, as well as vitamin A and trace amounts of vitamins D and E, so it is advisable to use it in moderation. In the kitchen, it is perfect for crumble, shortcrust pastries, tarts, and quick bakes, where cold pieces of fat create the desired structure. Store in the refrigerator tightly wrapped, protecting it from foreign odors; for longer storage, freeze in portions and thaw shortly before use, keeping it cool while preparing the crumble.
