The Lifeway Foods Probiotic Kefir Butter is a new series of high-quality dairy products created with taste and nutrition in mind to work well for the modern consumer. The butter comes in three varieties including Unsalted, Sea Salt and Honey Butter, which are each made with hand-churned European-style butter with probiotic cultures. The butter comes packaged in tubs and boasts a spreadable formulation that will accommodate easy use in a variety of recipes.
President and CEO Julie Smolyansky spoke on the Lifeway Foods Probiotic Kefir Butter saying, "Our strength has always been cultured dairy. We already operate a butter business and understand the category deeply. What has changed is the consumer mindset. With the newly release dietary guidelines that highlight cultured foods and trends favoring quality, full-fat dairy, we see a significant opportunity to scale and to innovate at the intersection of butter and kefir."
