Plugrà Premium European Style Butter celebrates Pi Day with free pie

In celebration of Pi Day on Friday, March 14, Plugrà Premium European Style Butter will serve free pies to New Yorkers at the southwest corner of Third Avenue and 14th Street.

From 3:14 pm EST onward, fans are invited to get a three-inch pie to taste the Plugrà difference in baking the perfect pie crust. Slow-churned and made with 82 percent butterfat, fans can choose from two Plugrà Pies: chocolate cream or berry (while supplies last).

For those who choose to celebrate at home, Plugrà has partnered with top pastry chef Michelle Palazzo, director of pastry operations for the Frenchette Group, to share her recipe for the perfect, flakiest pie crust. Fans can visit plugra.com/piecrust for Palazzo’s step-by-step recipe for the flakiest pie crust.

“For chefs, bakers, dessert lovers, and mathematicians, there is no better way to celebrate Pi Day than with a freshly baked pie made with Plugrà butter,” says Jenny Mehlman, senior director of marketing, Cheese, Taste, and Flavors at Dairy Farmers of America (DFA). “Whether you use Plugrà regularly or are tasting it for the first time on Pi Day, we are confident New Yorkers will see why it is trusted by both professionals and home bakers.”
