Country Crock Spreadable Butter with Canola Oil and Calcium
What it is
This is a dairy-based spread that combines butter with canola oil and added calcium. It is designed to offer a softer texture than traditional butter, making it easier to spread directly from the refrigerator. The inclusion of canola oil contributes to its smooth consistency and a lighter flavor profile.
How people cook with it
This spread is excellent for everyday use in the kitchen, both for cooking and for topping finished dishes. Its convenient texture makes it a go-to for busy households.
- Spreading on toast
- Baking cookies
- Sautéing vegetables
- Melting over steamed corn
You can use this spread in any application where you would typically use butter. It melts easily when heated, making it suitable for sautéing, pan-frying, and as a base for sauces. For baking, it can be creamed with sugar for cakes and cookies, or melted and incorporated into batters. Its spreadability also makes it ideal for finishing dishes, like melting it over hot vegetables or spreading it on warm bread. It performs well in most baking recipes, contributing to a tender crumb.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike regular butter, this spread is formulated to be softer at refrigerator temperatures, eliminating the need to wait for butter to soften before use. The addition of canola oil also influences its texture and flavor, making it less dense and potentially milder than pure butter.
Who it is for
This spread is for anyone who enjoys the taste of butter but prefers a more convenient, spreadable option for daily meals and baking.
How to keep the rest
To maintain its quality and texture, keep this spread refrigerated. Ensure the container is tightly sealed after each use to prevent it from drying out or absorbing other odors from the refrigerator. It is best used by the date indicated on the packaging.
