What Makes Sierra Nevada Butter Special?
Sierra Nevada’s butter is made using a traditional vat-culturing process, where the cream is carefully fermented to develop its signature tangy depth of flavor. This method, combined with meticulous churning, creates a butter that is not only creamy and smooth but also bursting with subtle notes of cultured richness. The addition of just the right amount of salt enhances the butter's natural sweetness and umami, making it versatile for both savory and sweet applications.
