Butter Concentrates for Great Results

How do we get the taste of real butter in our easy-to-use Butter Buds® concentrates? We use real butterfat, unlocking the great taste and goodness of butter with our proprietary enzyme-modification process. Beyond enhancing dairy taste, our butter concentrates mask off notes and improve mouthfeel, for a rich, well-rounded and delightfully smooth taste experience. And, since they are highly concentrated, our ingredients have low usage rates so you can create richer beverages and tastier foods with a better bottom line.

Our butter concentrates bring better taste and lower cost-in-use—with no artificial flavors or colors—to a wide variety of applications:

  • Beverages & Drink Mixes

  • Confectionery & Snacks

  • Meats & Ready Meals
