WHY IT WORKS

• 84% Butterfat Content: Contains less moisture than standard Canadian butters, providing better elasticity for puff pastry and a richer, creamier mouthfeel.

• Cultured Profile: The addition of live cultures before churning develops a complex, slightly nutty, and tangy flavor that enhances both sweet and savory dishes.

• Slow-Churned Excellence: The traditional churning process results in a smoother, denser texture that incorporates beautifully into doughs and emulsions.

• Premium PEI Cream: Sourced from small-scale dairy farms in Prince Edward Island, ensuring high-quality milk from cows that graze on mineral-rich pastures.

• Exceptional Melting Point: The high fat concentration allows for a cleaner melt and better stability when making clarified butter or hollandaise.

• Award-Winning Heritage: Produced by Cows Creamery, a brand recognized internationally for excellence in dairy craftsmanship.

USE CASES

• Artisan Bakeries: Used for laminating croissants and danishes where the extra fat provides the distinct, shattered-glass flake and rich interior diners crave.

FAQ

What makes "Cultured" butter different from regular butter? Cultured butter has live bacterial cultures added to the cream before it is churned. This process ferments the cream, creating a deeper, more complex flavor and a slightly tangy aroma compared to "sweet cream" butter.

Why is 84% butterfat important for baking? Standard butter is usually 80% fat. The extra 4% in Cows Creamery butter means less water, which leads to better rise in pastries and a more stable structure in cookies and cakes.

Is this butter salted or unsalted? This specific 250g cultured format is typically offered in a salted version to highlight the cultured notes, but always check your specific package for labeling.

How should I store this butter for the best flavor? Keep it tightly wrapped in the refrigerator to prevent it from absorbing other food odors. For best results in pastry work, use it at the temperature specified in your recipe.

Can I freeze this butter? Yes, Cows Creamery butter freezes exceptionally well. We recommend wrapping it in an extra layer of foil or a freezer bag to maintain freshness for up to 6 months.
