Global Picture of Butter for Production and Sourcing
European Butter
Europe has long been the benchmark for premium butter for production. Countries like France, Ireland, and Denmark are known for their high butterfat content (82–84%), creamy texture, and grass-fed flavor. European butter is prized in fine dining and bakery applications, particularly in laminated doughs where rich flavor and elasticity are essential.
American Butter
U.S. butter traditionally contains slightly lower fat (around 80%) and higher moisture levels, which can affect baking performance. American producers excel in industrial-scale supply and competitive pricing, making their butter suitable for large food manufacturers.
Australian and New Zealand Butter
Butter from Australia and New Zealand is largely grass-fed, producing a golden color and rich taste similar to Europe, but often available at more stable prices. These origins are increasingly popular for international buyers seeking premium quality with cost efficiency.
Asian Butter
While Asia remains largely an importing region, local butter production (India, China) is growing to meet rising demand. Quality varies, but imported European and Oceanian butter dominates bakery, HoReCa, and retail markets due to consistency and performance.

Why Differences in Butter for Production Matter
Cow feed—whether grass, silage, or grain—directly impacts butterfat levels, flavor, and color. Grass-fed butter from Ireland or New Zealand is deeper in yellow tones and richer in aroma, while grain-fed butter from industrial farms may offer price advantages and uniformity.
For businesses, these differences are not just culinary—they are commercial. Bakers may prefer high-fat European or New Zealand sheet butter for croissant production, while large-scale food manufacturers may choose competitively priced American butter for processed goods. Retailers often need private label solutions with stable supply, regardless of origin, when sourcing butter for production.
