A taste for butter

摘要

The storyline in butter this year is flavor. Like their counterparts in milk, cheese, yogurt and ice cream, buttermakers are adding ingredients to make their products sweeter or more savory. Take for example, a sea salt and cracked pepper spreadable butter under the Challenge brand introduced this summer from California Dairies Inc.It is packaged in a 7-ounce plastic container. Challenge this year also rolled out a light spreadable butter with olive and canola oils. In a statement this summer, Challenge Dairy Products' Senior Vice President of Retail and Food Service Tim Anderson said, "The spreadable category is one that is growing rapidly alongside home chefs' desires for more flavorful, convenient and healthier options."
