Butter up your customers with Country Morning® Blend.

Think there’s nothing quite like butter?  That’s not quite right. LAND O LAKES® Country Morning® Blend brings your operation the taste and performance of butter, without the extra cost. 

Country Morning® Blend is a Land O’Lakes® innovation – a unique combination of margarine and butter.  With 40% butter content, it has the same percentage of fat as butter.  So you can substitute it for butter at a one-to-one ratio, for applications from clarifying to sautéing to topping.  All with the same delicious results – not to mention less cholesterol.

Unlike margarines or oils, Country Morning® Blend yields a higher percentage of usable fat when clarified.  Its rich butter taste also makes it the perfect choice for spreads, or basic bread-and-butter service.  Exactly the quality you’d expect from the company that knows what great butter flavor is all about.

Country Morning® Blend can be used anywhere in your operation. It comes in 1 lb. prints, both salted and unsalted, for kitchen use.  It’s also available in whipped form, in 5 lb. tubs.  This product holds its whip, for a tasty presentation finish for dishes such as pancakes and waffles.  It also melts nicely over foods such as vegetables.

With Country Morning® Blend you can give your customers the richness of butter, while saving on every application.  Because this product is only 40% butter, you’ll also save yourself from additional pricing volatility.  Which helps keep your operation running as smoothly as… butter.
