Cultured butter is a premium culinary product that stands out for its rich, layered flavor and superior cooking qualities. Unlike classic sweet cream butter, which is made from fresh pasteurized cream, our cultured butter undergoes a carefully controlled fermentation process.


This process involves the addition of specific dairy cultures that enrich the cream with natural enzymes and probiotic bacteria. As a result, the butter develops a distinctive, mildly nutty, and pleasantly tangy aroma, making it an irresistible addition to the finest dishes.


One of the key advantages of our cultured butter is its higher butterfat content, ranging between 82% and 85%. This rich texture not only provides a creamy mouthfeel but also enhances the butter’s performance in cooking and baking. Its ability to form layers makes it ideal for preparing flaky pastries, croissants, rich creamy sauces, and pasta, while its higher melting point allows for even melting without separating water and milk proteins.


Whether you use it for homemade baking, drizzling over fresh bread, making the finest creamy sauces, or simply enjoying its full, rich aroma, our cultured butter offers an unparalleled gastronomic experience that will elevate your recipes to the next level.

About Animal Farm Creamery

Founded in 2000 by Diane St. Clair in Orwell, Vermont, Animal Farm Creamery quickly gained cult status among top chefs, including those at The French Laundry and Per Se, where its butter became an essential ingredient in fine dining. Animal Farm Creamery employs the best traditional dairy methods, producing handcrafted cultured butter made from fresh, raw milk, collected directly from the farm.


The butter is churned and shaped by hand, giving it an exceptional texture, rich dairy flavor, and delicate aroma. In addition to butter, the creamery also produces high-quality cream, which is regionally distributed through Provisions International.


Due to limited production, Animal Farm Creamery products are not commercially available in large markets – they are delivered directly to top restaurants, while a select quantity can be purchased through Saxelby Cheesemongers.
