Better caramelization when searing
Richer mouthfeel in baked goods

2. Clean Ingredients List
No unnecessary fillers.
No artificial flavors.
Just:
Pasteurized cream, salt (in the salted version), and cultures.
This simplicity makes it ideal for:
Baking delicate pastries
Making homemade compound butter
Spreading on warm sourdough without guilt
In an age where ingredient transparency is everything…
That’s a big deal.
