What makes our butter special
Ingredients & Quality Standards
Our Great Value Butter contains just two simple ingredients: pasteurized sweet cream and salt. We believe in keeping things pure and simple, so you get authentic butter flavor without unnecessary additives or preservatives.
Each batch meets strict quality standards for milkfat content, texture, and taste. The 80% milkfat composition ensures our butter melts smoothly, creams beautifully for baking, and spreads easily at room temperature. We pasteurize the cream to ensure food safety while preserving the natural dairy flavor you love.
Baking & Cooking Performance
Great Value Butter excels in both sweet and savory recipes thanks to its balanced salt content and proper milkfat ratio. The quarter-pound stick format with measurement markings makes it easy to add exactly what your recipe calls for.
Baking Applications
Our butter creates tender, flaky pastries and cookies with excellent spread and browning. The consistent moisture content ensures reliable results in cakes, muffins, and quick breads. Use it for creaming with sugar, cutting into flour for pie dough, or melting for brownies and bars.
Storage & Freshness Tips
Store your Great Value Butter in the refrigerator at 40°F or below to maintain optimal freshness and prevent spoilage. Keep it in its original wrapper or an airtight container to protect it from absorbing refrigerator odors.
For best baking results, many recipes call for room temperature butter. Simply remove the amount you need about 30-60 minutes before use, allowing it to soften naturally. Softened butter should yield to gentle pressure but still hold its shape.

Common Questions About Great Value Butter
Our salted butter contains added salt for enhanced flavor and slightly longer shelf life, making it ideal for spreading and general cooking. Unsalted butter contains only sweet cream, giving you complete control over the salt content in your recipes. Many bakers prefer unsalted butter because it allows them to precisely control seasoning, especially in delicate pastries and desserts.
Both varieties contain 80% milkfat and perform equally well in recipes. If a recipe doesn’t specify, salted butter works beautifully in most applications.
Yes, our butter works excellently for making brown butter and clarified butter. For brown butter, simply melt the butter in a light-colored pan over medium heat, stirring constantly until it turns golden and develops a nutty aroma.
For clarified butter or ghee, melt the butter slowly and skim off the milk solids that rise to the top, then strain. The high milkfat content of our butter yields a good amount of clarified butter with rich flavor.
Unopened butter will stay fresh until the date printed on the package when stored properly in the refrigerator at 40°F or below. Once opened, we recommend using the butter within 1-2 weeks for optimal flavor and quality.
Always keep butter wrapped or in an airtight container to prevent it from absorbing odors from other foods. If you notice any off-odors, discoloration, or unusual texture, it’s best to discard the butter.
Absolutely! Our butter creates smooth, creamy frostings and buttercreams that pipe beautifully and hold their shape. For best results, use room temperature butter and beat it thoroughly before adding powdered sugar and other ingredients.
The consistent texture and milkfat content ensure your frosting will have excellent stability and a rich, buttery flavor. Many bakers use our butter for everything from simple buttercream to elaborate decorated cakes.
The measurement markings on each stick make it easy to cut exact amounts without using measuring cups or scales. Each stick equals 1/2 cup or 8 tablespoons, and the wrapper shows tablespoon increments.
This feature is especially helpful for baking, where precision matters. Simply cut through the wrapper at the desired measurement line, and you’ll have exactly the right amount for your recipe.
Yes, you can substitute our butter for margarine in most recipes, though the results may vary slightly. Butter contains more fat and less water than many margarines, which can affect texture in some baked goods.
In general, butter produces richer flavor and better browning than margarine. For best results, use a 1:1 substitution by weight or volume. Keep in mind that butter contains cholesterol and saturated fat, while some margarines do not.
Our Great Value Salted Sweet Cream Butter is made from quality sweet cream sourced from dairy farms. While we don’t specifically market this product as grass-fed, we work with suppliers who meet our quality and animal welfare standards.
The butter delivers consistent flavor, texture, and performance regardless of seasonal variations in cow diet. If you’re specifically looking for grass-fed butter, please check our specialty butter options or product labels for that designation.
