Chef Patrick's Comment

Echiré butter owes its legendary quality to the fact that for decades the churning has been done in wooden barrels, if you manage to find it additionally in dry extract form, this will allow you to have barely 15% humidity which will enhance its hazelnut flavour and its strength (particularly for puff pastry).
