When it comes to elevating your culinary creations, there's one staple ingredient that you can't look past. Say hello to grass-fed butter, the magic ingredient that can transform your cooking and baking. There are dozens of benefits of butter, especially grass-fed butter, so if you want to know how butter can improve your cooking and baking, look no further...

 

The Difference of Grass-Fed

What sets grass-fed butter apart from other butters? Grass-fed butter is crafted from the milk of cows that graze freely on lush pastures, indulging in their natural diet of fresh grasses. This makes a different to the texture, taste and nutritional value it offers. At Westgold, we're proud to say that our farmer's cows graze free-range, 365 days a year with daily access to pastures.

 

Enhanced Flavour

One of the most noticeable benefits of using grass-fed butter in your cooking and baking is its rich flavour profile. We reckon the cows' natural diet of grass creates the best milk and therefore, the best butter. Whether it's a simple slice of bread slathered with butter, a sautéed vegetable dish, or a decadent cake, the grass-fed butter's flavour will shine through!

 

Nutritional Superiority

Beyond its taste, grass-fed butter packs a nutritional punch that can make your meals even more wholesome. With a greater concentration of vitamin E and A, along with a balanced ration of omega-3 fats, this butter is more than just a delicious ingredient. Westgold grass-fed butter is also free from preservatives or food additives (other than the salt slurry added to salted butter - this salt comes from pure NZ salt).

 

Buttery Goodness and Baking Brilliance

When it comes to baking, grass-fed butter takes centre stage as the ultimate secret to producing perfect pastries, cakes, and breads. The grass-fed butter's rich flavour notes lend an enticing aroma and taste to your creations, making them truly stand out.
