Shurfine Salted Spreadable Butter with Canola Oil
What it is
This is a salted butter product blended with canola oil. The addition of canola oil makes it softer and easier to spread straight from the refrigerator. It is made from sweet cream, which contributes to its mild, pleasant flavor profile. The salt is added to enhance the taste and act as a mild preservative.
How people cook with it
This spreadable butter is designed for convenience in everyday cooking and baking. It offers a smooth texture that works well in various applications.
- Spreading on toast
- Baking cookies
- Sautéing vegetables
- Melting over corn on the cob
This butter can be used in place of regular butter in most recipes. Its softer consistency means it can be easily creamed with sugar for cakes and cookies without needing to be at room temperature for an extended period. It melts quickly when heated, making it suitable for pan-frying or finishing dishes. You can also dollop it directly onto hot foods like pancakes or steamed vegetables for instant flavor and richness.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional butter, this product contains canola oil, which lowers its melting point and increases its spreadability. This means it is softer at colder temperatures. The inclusion of oil can also subtly alter the texture of baked goods, sometimes resulting in a slightly more tender crumb.
Who it is for
Home cooks and bakers who appreciate the convenience of a spreadable butter will find this product useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening, keep the remaining butter tightly covered in the refrigerator. This will help maintain its freshness and prevent it from absorbing odors from other foods. It is best used by the date indicated on the packaging.
