If you haven’t yet seen the butter board trend on social media, let us introduce you to one of the biggest food crazes right now. As we have seen, younger generations have found, and continue to find, creative ways to bring their own twists to staple food products, and their most recent endeavor is with the beloved kitchen staple: butter. Instead of using plain unsalted or salted butter as a basic spread, we are seeing these consumers change up the way they eat butter by using it to create flavored dips, spreads, and more.
Inspired by these innovative individuals, our newest collection was built around this new and emerging trend. We’ve taken their original idea and created our own version where our aim is to appeal to every generation, whether they’ve heard of a butter board or not. Keep reading to learn about what seasonings we’ve created, how they also incorporate the latest flavor trends, and ways to find inspiration in butter boards, just like we did.
Flavors in this Collection
When creating this collection, we made sure to develop our seasonings to appeal to consumers with all types of flavor preferences. From savory to spicy to sweet, we’ve made seasonings that we believe every consumer will love. Each seasoning was meticulously crafted to enhance the flavor of, and compliment, the dish of your choice.
From steak and seafood to poultry and plant-based meat alternatives, our savory Truffle Butter Seasoning creates the perfect addition to any protein. Fusing this deliciously seasoned butter topping with your meat of choice creates a mouthwatering flavor that leaves you wanting more with every bite. The butter base combined with the truffle flavor puts the protein’s natural flavor in the spotlight, while also adding a delectable, savory flavor and creamy texture.
We decided to lean into the spicey flavor trend and bring the heat with our Nashville Hot Butter Seasoning. Extra hot and spicy flavors have been in demand with consumers, and combined with a creamy butter base, this seasoning creates a craveable dip for proteins, vegetables, breads, and so much more. It takes an average dish or appetizer to the next level and delivers exactly what today’s consumers are looking for.
Although our focus is seasoning a butter base, we decided to step outside of the box and create a board addition using another dairy favorite: yogurt. Our Hot Honey Yogurt Seasoning is the perfect unification of spicy and sweet. This flavorful seasoning will form the ideal dessert or appetizer dip and satisfy every craving. We created this seasoning with a yogurt base in mind, but it would be just as delicious combined with a butter base.
Finding Inspiration in Butter Boards
Our Butter Board Blends Collection is just a small taste of the inspiration that can be brought to life from this butter board craze. It demonstrates how trends from social media can shape overarching trends seen in food services and food industries. Fortunately, these trends continue to give us incredible insight of what consumers are interested in seeing in the moment. They signal the very beginnings of emerging food trends and present incredible opportunities to meet and exceed consumer expectations.
Finding ways to recreate and enhance original ideas from trends seen on social media is a surefire way to connect with consumers and attract their attention. We notice that younger generations are growing increasingly interested in expanding their palates and exploring non-traditional ways of eating their favorite, everyday foods. In turn, new food trends have been popping up constantly. While many of these social media trends can be seen as short term trends or fads, we expect the butter board craze to stick around, much like ever popular charcuterie boards. To many, it’s more than just a trend; it’s a way to diversify how we present and consume some of the most common foods found in our kitchen.
