Austin, Texas-based Vital Farms has launched Alfresco Butter – a small-batch, slow-churned butter made from milk from small herds of Jersey and Guernsey cows.
According to the company, which is best known for its pasture-raised egg business, the milk for Alfresco Butter comes from cows that are ‘free to graze every day, and supply a rich, high-fat milk that is just right coming off the farm’.
“The folks who slow churn Vital Farms’ butter in small batches have been doing it the same way for more than 120 years, with five generations of the same family passing father to son, at one of America’s oldest creameries,” said the company.
In either unsalted or sea salt varieties, Alfresco Butter has 85% butterfat and is sold in boxes containing two 4oz sticks. The packaging very clearly describes the products’s slow churned, grass fed, small batch heritage and is labelled as ‘no hormones’ and ‘no anti-biotics’.
