What it is
This is a blend of butter and canola oil, designed for convenience and ease of use. It offers a softer texture than traditional butter, making it spreadable straight from the refrigerator. The addition of canola oil contributes to its smooth consistency and can also affect its flavor profile. It comes in a tub for easy scooping and portioning. This product aims to simplify everyday cooking and serving needs.
How people cook with it

This spreadable butter can be used in place of regular butter in many recipes and applications. Its soft texture means it can be easily spread on bread, muffins, or toast without tearing. When baking, it can often be creamed with sugar just like regular butter, though the moisture content might be slightly different. For cooking, it melts readily in a pan for sautéing or frying. It can also be melted and drizzled over finished dishes like steamed vegetables or baked potatoes.
