Flavorful and consistent, Butterball® Farms scales up custom flavors easily.
Crafting a unique flavor combination for a new menu item can be easy in your innovation kitchen, but tricky when you ask staff at multiple locations around the country to re-create that flavor at scale. Butterball® Farms can help save time, assure consistency, and offer the solution in any package that fits your needs.
Butterball Farms has been serving up unique flavors for restaurants for over 60 years, so its staff understands the stresses of ramping up a custom blend, sauce, marinade, dressing, or glaze at scale. That’s why more and more chain operators are counting on the expertise and customer service of Butterball Farms.
“We deliver our sauces or spreads in the packaging that operators prefer, with most asking for disposable tubs to be used back-of-house. Our tubs can easily be stored in the freezer till needed, then thawed and used at prep stations,” says Joy Pellek, Butterball Farms Director of Business Development.
“One operator requested a Calabrian spice and garlic butter spread that could be used at the grill to flavor their burger or spread on pizza,” Pellek explains. “The time, labor, mess, and inconsistency of having the spread made individually across multiple restaurant units provided significant value to the chain customer. This versatile solution proved invaluable across various applications, ensuring a consistent, high-quality culinary experience.”
Butterball Farms flavored dollops are another solution operators frequently choose. Herbs, citrus, and spice flavors are combined with premium butter, margarine, or other bases as a topping for proteins and vegetables that melt perfectly when heated. Placed atop a steak, burger, or piece of seafood, the dollop assures the intended flavor is consistent with the right portion no matter the restaurant location or the grill cook who applies the dollop.
A new Stocked Dollop Program includes Butterball Farms most popular flavored dollops for providing a solution for operators in need of a quick flavor solution. The Flavor Collection can be shipped to the operator within 10 days of their order and includes Garlic Herb Butter Dollops (+3%* on restaurant menus in the past year), Lemon Herb Butter Dollops (+14%* on restaurant menus in the past year), and Pesto Basil Butter Dollops (+1%* in the past year). Free samples of the dollops are available upon request.
If an operator is looking for a custom flavored dollop or blend to set their menu apart, the process is easy when they work with the Butterball Farms Research & Development Team.
