How to Use / Preparation

For Spreading:

1. Remove butter from refrigerator 5-10 minutes before serving for easier spreading.
2. Spread generously on fresh bread, toast, or crackers.
3. Serve immediately while butter is soft.

For Baking:

1. Use at room temperature (about 20°C / 68°F) for best results.
2. Cream with sugar using an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes until pale and fluffy for cakes and cookies.
3. For pie crusts and tarts, cut cold butter into small cubes and work into flour with fingertips until mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
4. Follow your recipe's baking instructions.

For Cooking:

1. Heat a small amount in a pan over medium heat for sautéing vegetables or proteins.
2. Use for pan-frying fish, chicken, or mushrooms—the natural saltiness enhances flavors without extra seasoning.
3. Finish sauces by whisking in a tablespoon of cold butter off the heat for richness and shine.
4. Stir into warm pasta or rice just before serving for silky texture and depth.

Serving Suggestions
