What is the best way to store Veurre®?
Veurre® is a fresh product so must be stored in the fridge. We find that leaving it out at room temperature for a few minutes helps soften it slightly, making it easier to spread. Be sure to put it back in the fridge once you have finished though.

Why is Veurre® called a margarine?
According to the law, a butter alternative that contains more than 80% fat is called a margarine. A product that contains less than 80% is called a spread. Veurre® contains 81% plant-based fat and so is considered a margarine. The fat content of Veurre® is what makes it so great for baking and cooking (most spreads have more water content and are therefore not ideal for baking and cooking). By comparison, butter has 80-82% fat.
Can I simply replace butter in recipes with Veurre® and use the same quantity?
Yes. Veurre® can be used as a direct replacement to butter and in the same quantities. However, if you are replacing other ingredients in the recipe, e.g. replacing flour for gluten-free flour, then you might need to experiment to get the perfect quantities.
How do you pronounce Veurre®?
Veurre® is a play on the French word for butter: beurre. It rhymes with the word ‘purr’.
