Land O'Lakes Light Butter with Canola Oil
What it is
This is a spreadable dairy product that combines butter with canola oil. It is designed to offer a lighter alternative to traditional butter. The addition of canola oil helps to make it softer and easier to spread, even when chilled. It is typically sold in convenient portion-sized tubs or sticks for everyday use in the kitchen.
How people cook with it
This light butter spread is versatile for both cooking and baking applications.
- Spreading on toast
- Baking cookies
- Sautéing vegetables
- Melting over corn on the cob
You can use this light butter spread in many of the same ways you would use regular butter. It melts well for cooking and can be incorporated into baked goods. For recipes that call for softened butter, this product may require less time to reach the right consistency due to the oil content. It can be used directly from the refrigerator for spreading on bread or muffins. When baking, it can be creamed with sugar or melted and added to batters.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to traditional butter, this product contains less fat per serving due to the inclusion of canola oil. This often results in a softer texture that is easier to spread straight from the refrigerator, making it convenient for daily use on toast or sandwiches.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, keep the remaining product refrigerated. Ensure the container is tightly sealed after each use to prevent it from drying out or absorbing odors from other foods in the refrigerator. It is best used by the date indicated on the packaging.
