If you make food for a living, you know flavor is what gets a product picked up off the shelf and back into the cart again. Flavored butter is one of the easiest ways to put that flavor front and center, and Butterball® Farms has been crafting it for food manufacturers and processors for 70 years. We make it in formats that slip right into your line, and we’ll develop a flavor that’s yours alone.
Our flavored butter dollops come pre-portioned and ready to drop into your packaging, and we can wrap them with your brand and allergen information printed right on. That means less labor for your team, the same flavor in every unit, and a frozen shelf life of around 210 days to work with. Here’s a taste of what we make, and how to make it your own.
Our Most Popular Butter Flavors
After 70 years, we’ve gathered a lot of favorites. The classics lead the way: garlic herb is the versatile workhorse, all warm garlic and fresh-herb aroma, and lemon herb brings a bright lift to meats, vegetables, pasta, seafood, and bread. From there, it gets fun with a little honey or fruit sweetness here, savory blue cheese, bacon, or pesto basil there. Browse the full flavored dollops range, and add a few of these to your flavor list:
- Garlic herb
- Garlic parmesan
- Lemon herb
- Lemon dill
- Citrus garlic
- Parmesan black pepper
- Savory bacon
- Bacon shallot
- Bacon pepper jack
- Steakhouse
- Blackened cajun
- Chile lime cilantro

Create a Flavor of Your Own
Already have a flavor in mind? Reach out and tell us. Not sure yet? Our R&D team can ideate with you. Either way, they’ll develop a custom flavored butter formula that sets your brand apart, and we’ll dial in the format, portion size, and packaging, including your brand and allergen info printed on the wrap. From first idea to finished case, it’s yours to shape.
Why Flavored Butter Works So Hard for Your Products
Butter carries flavor like almost nothing else. It takes the herbs and spices in a dish and pushes them front and center, and on a complicated recipe that doesn’t soak up seasoning, a flavored butter does the heavy lifting. For your customers, that’s the difference between a product they finish and one they reorder.
Shoppers are chasing bolder, more interesting flavor than ever, and the category is moving with them: flavor-enhanced butters and spreads are growing five to seven times faster than regular dairy (Circana, per the Butterball® Farms 2026 Flavor Guide). Adding a few of those flavors to your fresh or frozen lineup gives buyers something they can’t get anywhere else. And because the dollops are pre-portioned, they slip into your process with minimal disruption.
Why Food Manufacturers Choose Butterball® Farms
We’ve worked with food manufacturers for decades, and we’ve dialed the process in. Our R&D team develops the exact flavor profile you’re after, in the format and packaging that fits your line, and our facility’s size and resources let us run orders of just about any scale. We hold a BRC-AA rating, so your brand’s quality stays in steady hands, and we’re glad to suggest pairings that complement your bestsellers.
