What it is
This is a blend of butter and oil, designed for easy spreading straight from the refrigerator.

The added oils contribute to its softer texture, making it suitable for various culinary applications where smooth application is desired. It comes in a convenient tub for everyday use.
How people cook with it
This spreadable butter is perfect for everyday use, from breakfast toast to baking.
- Spreading on toast
- Baking cakes
- Sautéing vegetables
- Melting over corn
You can use this spreadable butter just like regular butter in most recipes. It melts easily when heated, making it suitable for sautéing or pan-frying. For baking, it can often be creamed with sugar for cakes and cookies, though its higher water content might slightly alter the texture compared to pure butter. It's also excellent for finishing dishes, like melting it over steamed vegetables or popcorn. Its soft consistency means no waiting for it to soften before use.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional butter, which is typically 100% dairy fat and hardens significantly when chilled, this spreadable version contains added vegetable oils. This results in a consistently softer texture, even when cold, making it easier to spread directly from the fridge without tearing bread.
Who it is for
Home cooks who value convenience and ease of use will appreciate this product.
How to keep the rest
Keep this spreadable butter refrigerated. Once opened, it should be stored in its original container. Ensure the lid is tightly closed to maintain freshness and prevent it from absorbing odors from other foods in the refrigerator.
