changes. Rising raw material costs and new nutritional expectations are creating a complex challenge for bakery and pastry manufacturers: reducing butter content without compromising the sensory experience that makes their products successful.\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"mba-hero-note\">\n<div class=\"mba-note-icon\">\n              <svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                <path d=\"M7 8h10\"><\/path>\n                <path d=\"M7 12h10\"><\/path>\n                <path d=\"M7 16h6\"><\/path>\n                <path d=\"M5 4h14a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v12a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H9l-6-6V6a2 2 0 0 1 2-2Z\"><\/path>\n              <\/svg>\n            <\/div>\n<p>\n              In a croissant, an apple turnover or a brioche, butter is more than just an ingredient in the recipe. It contributes to indulgence, softness, roundness in the mouth and the flavor notes consumers expect. Metarom, a French creator of flavoring solutions and caramels since 1953, supports industry players in demanding reformulation projects, drawing on its expertise in sweet applications and its market knowledge.\n            <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mba-visual-card\">\n          <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/metarom.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/web-metarom-l1004604-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Laminated dough illustrating butter reduction in viennoiserie while preserving indulgence\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"mba-visual-caption\">\n            <strong>Butter reduction<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Preserving the perception of softness, roundness and taste pleasure.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"mba-nav-wrap\">\n<div class=\"mba-container mba-nav-inner\">\n<nav class=\"mba-nav\" aria-label=\"Article summary\">\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#retenir\">Key points<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#defi\">Challenge<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#perception\">Perception<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#signatures\">Signatures<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#process\">Method<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#faq\">FAQ<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/nav><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<section id=\"retenir\" class=\"mba-section-tight\">\n<div class=\"mba-container\">\n<div class=\"mba-grid-4\">\n<div class=\"mba-micro\">\n<div class=\"mba-icon\">\n            <svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n              <circle cx=\"12\" cy=\"12\" r=\"8\"><\/circle>\n              <path d=\"M12 8v5l3 2\"><\/path>\n            <\/svg>\n          <\/div>\n<h3>Reading time<\/h3>\n<p>About 4 minutes to understand the challenges of reducing butter in industrial viennoiserie.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mba-micro\">\n<div class=\"mba-icon\">\n            <svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n              <path d=\"M5 14c2.5-5.5 11.5-7.5 15-2.5\"><\/path>\n              <path d=\"M4 14c1 4 5 6 9 5.5 3.8-.5 6.3-2.7 7-6.2\"><\/path>\n              <path d=\"M8 14c1.5 1 3.5 1.5 6 1.2\"><\/path>\n              <path d=\"M10 11.5c.8.5 1.8.8 3 .8\"><\/path>\n            <\/svg>\n          <\/div>\n<h3>Product challenge<\/h3>\n<p>Reducing butter without losing essential sensory markers: softness, roundness, melt-in-the-mouth texture and dairy notes.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mba-micro\">\n<div class=\"mba-icon\">\n            <svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n              <path d=\"M9 3h6\"><\/path>\n              <path d=\"M10 3v5l-4 7a4 4 0 0 0 3.5 6h5a4 4 0 0 0 3.5-6l-4-7V3\"><\/path>\n              <path d=\"M8.5 14h7\"><\/path>\n            <\/svg>\n          <\/div>\n<h3>Active solution<\/h3>\n<p>Acti\u2019Boost Fat supports reformulation projects by working on the perception of richness and enjoyment.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mba-micro\">\n<div class=\"mba-icon\">\n            <svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n              <path d=\"M12 20c4-2 7-5.5 7-10V5l-7-2-7 2v5c0 4.5 3 8 7 10Z\"><\/path>\n              <path d=\"m9.5 12 1.8 1.8L15 10\"><\/path>\n            <\/svg>\n          <\/div>\n<h3>Metarom approach<\/h3>\n<p>Flavoring expertise tailored to the product, the manufacturing process and the industrial specifications.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"defi\" class=\"mba-section\">\n<div class=\"mba-container\">\n<div class=\"mba-kicker\">The challenge<\/div>\n<h2>The challenge in viennoiserie:<br \/> making it lighter without losing <span>indulgence<\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"mba-grid-3\">\n<div class=\"mba-split-card\">\n<h4>The role of butter<\/h4>\n<p>\n            In a viennoiserie recipe, butter contributes to the product\u2019s overall flavor profile: dairy notes, cream, hazelnut, baked notes, roundness, lingering taste\u2026 It also influences the perception of softness, richness and melt-in-the-mouth texture. When butter is reduced, the risk is immediate: a viennoiserie perceived as too dry, less generous, less distinctive, with lower perceived quality.\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mba-split-card\">\n<h4>Finding the right balance<\/h4>\n<p>\n            For industrial viennoiserie brands, the challenge is therefore to find the right balance between recipe optimization, cost control and consumer experience. A butter reduction that is too noticeable can weaken the product\u2019s indulgent promise. Conversely, a carefully developed reformulation can preserve a rich flavor signature while meeting new market expectations.\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mba-split-card\">\n<h4>Observed trends<\/h4>\n<p>\n            Trends observed in yellow cakes, brioches and biscuits confirm this shift across sweet cereal products: recipes must remain accessible, reassuring and indulgent. Vanilla, dairy, cereal, caramelized or lightly toasted profiles remain strong markers of pleasure. They help support composition changes without distorting the identity of the finished product.\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mba-table-card\">\n<h3>What butter brings to viennoiserie<\/h3>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Butter contribution<\/th>\n<th>Consumer perception<\/th>\n<th>Risk when reduced<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Dairy notes, cream, fresh butter<\/td>\n<td>A rounder, more generous, more comforting product<\/td>\n<td>A flavor profile that is less distinctive or less identifiable<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Brown butter, baked and lightly toasted notes<\/td>\n<td>An indulgent signature and a perception of quality<\/td>\n<td>Viennoiserie perceived as more neutral or less premium<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Roundness and lingering taste<\/td>\n<td>A sensation of richness and lasting pleasure<\/td>\n<td>A product perceived as drier, less melting or less satisfying<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Perceived softness and melt-in-the-mouth texture<\/td>\n<td>A more enveloping, more generous texture<\/td>\n<td>A weaker sensory experience, even with a technically controlled recipe<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"perception\" class=\"mba-band\">\n<div class=\"mba-container\">\n<div class=\"mba-kicker\">Sensory reformulation<\/div>\n<h2>Working on perception<br \/> rather than simply compensating for <span>fat<\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"mba-grid-2\">\n<div class=\"mba-card\">\n<h4>Observation<\/h4>\n<p>\n            When reducing butter, the answer is not simply to replace one raw material with another. It is also about rebuilding a complete sensory perception.

This solution helps reinforce the sensation of roundness, richness and taste pleasure, even when fat content is reduced.
