Picture yourself savoring the delicate flavors of European cuisine. With our cultured vegan butter, you can recreate that experience right in your own home.

Creating a vegan butter that matches the texture and flavor of traditional butter requires careful selection of ingredients. Our recipe combines the goodness of plant-based elements to achieve an exceptional result. Starting with a base of refined coconut oil, which provides a solid consistency at room temperature, we add grapeseed oil to enhance the smoothness and spreadability of the butter. The addition of plain yogurt and apple cider vinegar acts as a culture, infusing the butter with that distinct tangy flavor found in European-style cultured butter. A pinch of salt enhances the overall taste, creating a well-balanced and delightful experience.Unlocking the Science of Creaminess
One of the challenges in vegan butter creation is achieving the perfect creamy texture. Our recipe has cracked the code, allowing you to enjoy the lusciousness of European-style butter without a hint of dairy. The key lies in the emulsification process, which creates a smooth and silky consistency. The inclusion of liquid sunflower lecithin acts as an emulsifier, ensuring that the ingredients blend seamlessly and remain stable. The result is a butter that spreads effortlessly and melts beautifully, enriching your recipes with its heavenly texture.
