About Trex
Trex is the UK's number one dairy-free butter alternative and the only 100% vegetable baking fat available in British supermarkets. This iconic solid vegetable fat has been a staple in British kitchens for generations, prized for its versatility in baking and cooking. Free from preservatives, colours, E-numbers, and hydrogenated vegetable oil, Trex offers a cleaner alternative to traditional animal fats whilst delivering exceptional results in pastry, cakes, biscuits, and high-temperature cooking. One of Trex's key advantages is that you can use 20% less than butter in recipes because it contains no water, making it economical as well as effective. The fat can be used straight from the fridge for perfect pastry, eliminating the need for softening that butter requires. It adds extra lightness to cakes, creates crispier biscuits, and produces the flaky pastry that British home bakers prize. Using a combination of butter and Trex gives many bakers what they consider the best of both worlds - butter's flavour with Trex's texture. Trex excels in high-heat cooking applications thanks to its high smoke point, making it superior to butter or olive oil for searing, deep-fat frying, and roasting. It's particularly beloved for making Yorkshire puddings, where the high baking temperature can cause other fats to burn. The dairy-free formulation also makes Trex suitable for those with dairy allergies or following vegan baking requirements. Grocefully helps UK shoppers compare Trex prices across major supermarkets including Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, and Sainsbury's.
