The Ultimate Guide to Enjoying Butter: Smart Tips You Need

Smart butter tips

We think that everything tastes a little better with butter. We have therefore put together a few useful tips and tricks for you to enjoy butter to the fullest.

Make butter spreadable quickly

We’ve all been there: You want to spread butter on a piece of bread, and once again, you realise too late that the main ingredient is still in the fridge. It’s almost impossible to spread it on the fluffy bread in this state, as it would leave unsightly holes. To make butter from the fridge particularly spreadable, simply place it under a warmed container before serving. This way, unlike heating it in the microwave, the wonderfully fresh taste of the Weihenstephan butter is retained. This trick is also perfect if you want to use the baking spoon. 

Butter as creative decoration

How about a clever little treat for your guests at your next brunch? Instead of placing butter whole on the table, you can also portion it and shape it. Simply cut out cold butter slices with a cookie cutter and place them on guests’ plates with a slice of bread. Of course, there are no limits to creativity here, and homemade tomato or herb butter provides colorful accents.

The butter trick for creamy sauces

Mounting – this is the insider tip of professional chefs for creamy sauces with a fine sheen. Small cold pieces of butter are worked into the sauce when it is no longer boiling to bind it and give it a fine, buttery taste. You will achieve a flawless result if you cut the butter into the smallest possible cubes beforehand and let it harden in the fridge before mounting.

Butter tastes perfectly packaged

Have you ever thought about how butter is actually packaged? The Weihenstephan dairy has done just that and developed innovative packaging with a protective seal for its butter. With this attention to detail, the butter is now much better protected until it is opened for the first time than in conventional butter packaging. This also means that it retains its special taste. In addition to the protective seal, the practical comfort tabs also ensure quick and easy opening – without any greasy fingers!
