Talk:Plugrà

The hormone certification thing
I'm concerned that specifying that it is not certified to be hormone-free is not a neutral statement. It implies that that kind of certification matters, when there's no evidence that it does. One could label milk with a sticker saying "This product is albumin-free", charge $1.00 more for it, and in a few months, celebrities would be going on daytime talk shows speaking about the evil unscrupulous manufacturers that leave the albumin in their milk. To that point, Wikipedia shouldn't be used to advance the marketing agendas of milk producers who have done the above, but with growth hormone. I'm removing the statement to protect the neutral point of view of the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.7.251.127 (talk) 18:53, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

plugra is it a brand? Yes, it is a brand name (probably copyrighted) Several large dairies across the country produce this butter to Plugra's specifications (lower water/ higher fat content). Keller's Creamery is an example of a dairy currently producing this product.

Alfredo
The article claims that with Plugra, you can omit the heavy cream when making alfredo sauce. I find this hard to believe, since Plugra is 82.5% butterfat vs. 80% for normal butters (per Keller's Creamery web page). I can't imagine that that small difference can allow you to fundamentally change the composition of alfredo sauce. I can believe that Plugra + cheese yields a useful and delicious sauce, but if you're going to call it alfredo, it should be essentially indistinguishable from an alfredo sauce made in the usual way with heavy cream. -- Coneslayer 16:15, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree that the slight difference in butterfat content is not enough to significantly affect an alfredo sauce. Having said that, I have several recipes which don't call for heavy cream at all, so I think its inclusion is a matter of personal preference. I'm in favor of removing the mention entirely.

Speedy deletion
Someone added a speedy tag to this article. This is a well-established article with edits by several authors, and discussions on talk page. I personally believe the product is notable because it is the best-known European-style butter made in the United States, but under no circumstances is speedy deletion appropriate. -- Coneslayer (talk) 00:22, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
