LAND O LAKES
Land O'Lakes Butter with Canola Oil Spread
What it is
This is a blend of butter and canola oil, designed to offer a softer texture and easier spreadability than traditional butter. It combines the rich flavor of dairy butter with the smooth consistency of vegetable oil. The canola oil is added to improve its performance in various culinary applications, making it a convenient choice for everyday use in the kitchen. It is a dairy product that is meant to be spread.
How people cook with it
This spread is versatile and can be used in many ways, both in cooking and at the table.
- Spreading on toast
- Baking cookies
- Sautéing vegetables
- Melting over steamed corn
You can use this butter blend just like regular butter in most recipes. It's excellent for spreading directly onto warm bread, muffins, or pancakes. When baking, it can be creamed with sugar for cookies and cakes, or melted for brownies and quick breads. For stovetop cooking, it works well for sautéing vegetables, searing meats, or creating pan sauces. Its softer consistency means it may melt slightly faster than pure butter, so adjust your cooking times accordingly. It adds a pleasant richness to dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike 100% butter, this product contains canola oil, which lowers its melting point and makes it softer at room temperature. This results in a spread that is easier to spread directly from the refrigerator without tearing bread. The addition of oil also contributes to a smoother texture.
Who it is for
Home cooks and bakers who appreciate convenience and ease of use will find this spread helpful.
How to keep the rest
To maintain its quality, keep the remaining spread refrigerated in its original container. Ensure the lid is tightly closed to prevent it from drying out or absorbing other odors from the refrigerator. It should be stored in the main body of the refrigerator, not the door, for consistent temperature.
