Butter is getting more expensive: European pastry chefs face problems.

Butter prices have gone up a lot in Europe, making it more expensive to buy things like croissants and pastries. This is because there is less milk being produced around the world, including in places like the United States and New Zealand.

In some countries, the price of butter has gone up by almost 50%, and people are feeling the pinch. Some people are even switching to margarine because it's cheaper, even though they don't like the taste as much.

The high cost of butter is a big problem for bakers, who need a lot of butter to make their pastries. Some bakers are trying to keep their prices down by making smaller pastries, while others are refusing to use anything but real butter.

Experts say that several things are causing the butter shortage, including higher energy costs and bad weather in some parts of the world. Some experts also think that climate change might be playing a role.

The United States has also seen butter prices go up, although not as much as in Europe. In countries where people use more olive oil, like Italy, the high butter prices are not as big of a deal.
