Original Buttery Spreads |
COUNTRY CROCK

The first major distinction between Country Crock® spreads and dairy butter is found in the ingredients, themselves. Our spreads are meticulously crafted with plant-based oils, whereas dairy butter is derived from cow's milk. As a result, Country Crock® spreads have a lower saturated fat content per serving compared to dairy butter. Depending on the specific product, Country Crock® sticks and tubs typically contain between 1g and 5g of saturated fat per tablespoon, while butter contains 7g of saturated fat per tablespoon.

Moreover, Country Crock® spreads offer a soft texture that enables effortless spreading straight out of the refrigerator.

Country Crock® Original Spreads are not to be considered margarine. To begin with, margarine contains at least 80% fat whereas our spreads’ have considerably less. Our buttery spreads also lack artificial colors and preservatives found in some brands of margarine.

In short? Country Crock® Original Spreads delivers traditional country-fresh taste, buttery creaminess, and maximum spreadability right out of the refrigerator, but with reduced amounts of saturated fats.

To understand Country Crock®, it's important to recognize that not all fats are the same. We craft our spreads using plant-based oils that are widely recognized as sources of "good fats," while also offering lower amounts of saturated fat compared to dairy butter. Additionally, our buttery spreads contain zero cholesterol.

If you are in search of 100% dairy-free buttery spreads, we highly recommend our Plant Butters, available in both tubs and baking sticks. Not only do they deliver the flavors you crave, but they can be used as a one-for-one swap for dairy butter in all your favorite cooking and baking recipes.

Some users of dairy butter opt to store it at room temperature in order to achieve a softer texture, although this can accelerate its expiration. Country Crock® spreads are soft and spreadable out of the refrigerator, as they have been meticulously crafted and churned to deliver optimal creaminess and spreadability. All Country Crock® Original spreads are made without artificial flavors and preservatives, meaning that refrigeration is essential to upholding freshness.

Great news! The tubs of our buttery spreads are entirely recyclable. Please remember to rinse out any remaining contents before recycling. To assist you further, Country Crock includes a How2Recycle logo on our tubs for easy reference. It's important to note that recycling regulations can differ from one community to another, so we recommend familiarizing yourself with your municipality's specific guidelines.
