136-year-old French butter brand premiers in CIIE
By virtue of its precise insights on the Chinese catering market and consumers, SAVENCIA presents for the first time in Chinese mainland the butter brand LESCURE and the new product of ELLE & VIRE cream cheese. They bring different dessert-making experience and fresh tastes to both professional bakers and consumers.
Making its first appearance in Chinese mainland, LESCURE will bring with its authentic French flavor. Established in Charente, France in 1884, LESCURE butter is an EU AOP-certified brand. This is not only a guarantee of its place of origin and unique characteristics but is also the EU’s official endorsement of quality. Its unique flavor and super-strong ductility make LESCURE not only perfect for croissants and similar pastry desserts, but also enhance the richness of its butter taste.
In contrast to LESCURE, ELLE & VIRE is a brand widely recognized and loved by Chinese consumers. The new ELLE & VIRE French cream cheese at CIIE is made in France and from French milk, demonstrating the pure quality of Normandy dairy products. Using a formula that is free of any fused salt, the product keeps intact protein and other nutrients while providing a combination of refreshing milky taste and creamy fineness. It can be consumed salty or sweet, or whatever French flavor you prefer.
