Menthe shortening is a kind of high quality butter from France, known for its rich creamy flavor and delicate texture. It is made using the traditional French production process, whereby the water in the butter is evaporated through steps such as mixing and cooling, thus increasing the fat content of the butter and making it more crispy. Citrus shortening, on the other hand, is a type of butter from the United States that also has a rich, creamy flavor and soft texture. It adopts a different production process, by evaporating the water in the butter and adding the right amount of edible acid, so that it has better ductility and plasticity, suitable for baking and making shortcrust and other foods.
