Our Latest Developments 

We’re always working on something new. It’s how we develop ingredients with such amazing functionality and flavor. And it’s how we stay one step ahead of the trends. Here’s your chance to check out the latest hits from the ever-busy, ever-innovative Butter Buds® R&D team.

Butter Buds® Creamy Line

Now your product can entice consumers with the creamy richness and distinct savory notes of three favorite cheese profiles—Cheddar, CoJack and Parmesan—with one simple addition. Our new Creamy line doubles the deliciousness, with its creamy and cheesy profile.

Creaminess plays an important role in the overall eating experience. The Creamy line delivers indulgence—by improving texture for ultimate creaminess, while also adding delicious taste and masking off-flavors.

Even better? Our Creamy product is perfectly balanced to retain a desirable creamy profile without veering too cheesy or salty, even if the usage is increased. It helps create feel-good eating experiences that win repeat consumers, by elevating a variety of applications including: sauces, soups, snack seasonings, and even ice creams.

Like the other members of the 32X family, this non-dairy ingredient holds nothing back in terms of flavor; it just skips the dairy content.

Butter Buds® Butter Flavor AB

Wondering if it’s possible to make butter even better? We did! Our new Butter Buds® Butter Flavor AB concentrate is even richer and more buttery than the rest of our ButterBuds® family of ingredients.

Consumers love the rich creamy quality of butter, especially in the premium butter produced by grass-fed or pasture-raised cows. Our Butter Buds® Butter Flavor AB is a butter profile similar to those premium butters. Made with real butterfat, it imparts a richer, fresh butter note with a higher fat flavor profile.

Perfect for baked goods and any other application where rich, fresh butter notes are required, Butter Buds® Butter Flavor AB makes all the difference. Request a sample and see how much richer—and buttery-er—your products can be!
