Dorset Pastry situated amid the rolling hills of Dorset, far from the madding
crowd produces award winning pure butter pastry. The pastry is hand folded and
rested in the traditional way in order to maintain the highest quality
Dorset Pastry does not contain any stabilizers relaxants and other additives, so
commonly used in mass production to ensure consistency. Therefore, the taste and
characteristics of the pastry may vary and are determined by the seasons during
which the flour is harvested and the butter produced. It is this that determines
the uniqueness of Dorset Pastry.
The processing aid commonly used in commercial pastry production, E920 (the
derivative of animal hair and feathers) which legally need to be disclosed, is
not present in this product.
"I don’t know how long I’ve been using this all-butter puff pastry, but I think
it must be going on for two decades now! It comes in a ready-rolled rectangle
waiting to be turned into perfect pastries or sausage rolls, and it is the only
puff pastry I use (unless I want a disc of it, in which case I recommend the
Picard butter puff-pastry) as its taste, texture and pliability is
Superior-with-a-capital-S. I would no more be without a package of this in my
freezer than I would the Maldon salt in my kitchen: it’s that essential to me!"
