Bridor Fat Blend Viennoiseries: A Smart Balance of Taste, Quality, and Cost
In today’s professional kitchens, chefs are asked to do more than ever: deliver consistency, manage rising ingredient costs, and still serve products that look and taste exceptional. To support these challenges, we are pleased to introduce Bridor Fat Blend Viennoiseries, a carefully developed range that offers an excellent alternative to all‑butter pastries without compromising on quality or enjoyment.
Originally known as SelectBlend by Bridor, we have chosen the name Fat Blend as it clearly reflects what matters most to chefs: a smart, transparent solution that balances performance, flavour, and cost.
What Is Fat Blend?
Bridor Fat Blend Viennoiseries are crafted using a carefully balanced mix of fats:
- 90% high‑quality margarine
- 10% concentrated butter
This blend has been designed to replicate the technical and sensory performance of butter while offering greater price stability and competitiveness. The result is a range of French‑style viennoiseries that deliver reliable baking results, attractive appearance, and a subtle buttery flavour that meets customer expectations.
Why Chefs Choose Fat Blend
Consistent Quality & Visual Appeal
Thanks to a melting point similar to butter, Fat Blend pastries deliver a fine, regular lamination, producing a crispy, golden puff pastry. Once baked, the viennoiseries are voluminous, well‑defined, and visually appealing ideal for display counters, buffets, and breakfast service.
Balanced, Subtle Flavour
The addition of 10% concentrated butter provides delicate buttery notes without overpowering the product. This makes Fat Blend viennoiseries versatile and appealing to a wide range of customers, while keeping costs under control.
Ingredients Selected for Professional Performance
Bridor uses:
- RSPO Segregated certified palm oil, ensuring full traceability and responsible sourcing
- Coconut oil, chosen for its similarity to butter’s melting behaviour
- French wheat flour (subject to availability)
- Barn eggs
- No artificial colourants, no artificial flavourings, and no hydrogenated fats
This thoughtful ingredient selection supports both performance in the oven and modern consumer expectations.
Designed for Professional Kitchens
Fat Blend viennoiseries are Ready‑to‑Bake (RTB), already proofed and egg‑washed, helping kitchens save time and reduce labour. Once baked, they hold well throughout the day, helping to minimize waste while maintaining a consistent customer experience from morning service to late brunch.
With ongoing butter price volatility, Fat Blend offers chefs a stable and cost‑effective alternative ideal for operations where margin control is just as important as product quality.
