What it is

The addition of olive oil contributes a subtle flavor and a smoother consistency. It comes in a tub for simple scooping and application.
How people cook with it
This spreadable butter is perfect for quick and easy applications on a variety of foods. Its soft texture means no tearing bread or waiting for butter to soften.
- Spreading on toast
- Melting over vegetables
- Adding to baked potatoes
- Mixing into mashed potatoes
Use this spreadable butter just as you would regular butter, but with added convenience. It is ideal for spreading directly onto warm toast, muffins, or bagels without any effort. You can also melt it over steamed vegetables, baked potatoes, or corn on the cob. It incorporates smoothly into mashed potatoes for extra richness or can be used in simple pan-frying applications where a quick melt is desired. Its consistency makes it easy to measure and incorporate into recipes that call for softened butter.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike regular butter, which can be hard and difficult to spread when cold, this product is formulated to remain soft. The inclusion of olive oil changes its texture, making it more pliable at refrigerator temperatures. This difference primarily affects its spreadability and how quickly it melts.
Who it is for
Home cooks who appreciate convenience and a product that is ready to use without waiting.
How to keep the rest
Keep refrigerated. Once opened, ensure the lid is tightly closed to maintain freshness and prevent it from absorbing odors from other foods in the refrigerator. It is best to use within a reasonable time after opening for optimal flavor and texture.
