What it is

How people cook with it
This butter blend is versatile and can be used in both cooking and baking. Its unique composition makes it suitable for a wide range of dishes.

- Finishing pasta dishes
You can use this butter blend in place of regular butter in most recipes. For baking, it can be creamed with sugar for cakes and cookies, or melted for brownies and quick breads. When sautéing, it provides a pleasant flavor and helps prevent sticking. It can also be melted and drizzled over cooked vegetables, seafood, or pasta for an added layer of richness and a hint of olive oil flavor. Its spreadable nature makes it ideal for everyday use on bread or muffins.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike regular butter, this blend contains olive oil, which can alter the flavor profile slightly and affect how it browns. The olive oil also contributes to a softer texture at refrigerator temperatures, making it easier to spread without tearing bread.

How to keep the rest
After opening, keep the butter blend refrigerated. It should be stored in its original container or an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent it from absorbing odors from other foods in the refrigerator. Use within a reasonable timeframe for best quality.
