Keto Butter Board

What’s so great about butter?

What’s the craze about this new butter board trend anyway?

Turns out, there’s so much more to butter than you may see on the shelves of the super box-chain grocery stores would have you believe.

You can sometimes find high-quality butter in these stores, but more than likely, you’ll need to go to your local specialty store or order it online.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s definitely a time and place for store-brand butter. BUT high-quality butter is best used when it’s the feature of the dish. This includes butter boards, spread on freshly baked keto bread, or anytime when you can directly taste the butter.

You’ll find great high-quality butter from big suppliers as well as small local farms. Some options include Kerrygold, Vital Farms, Vermont Creamery, Devon Cream Company, or Banner Butter.

Unsalted is best because you can add your own flavored sea salts but play around with salted butter to see which you like best.

Benefits of grass-fed butter

What’s the difference between “grass-fed” butter and regular butter?

That’s a good question, and one we can answer by showing the benefits.

• Butter is made from the fat solids extracted from cow’s milk. The cow’s diet highly affects the quality of the milk, and therefore butter, that they produce.
• Eating butter from cows fed grass means that you get to benefit from this higher-quality diet as well.
• The biggest benefit is that you get the vitamins and minerals from the grass, which includes vitamin A, vitamin K2, and beta carotene.
• It’s also high in unsaturated fatty acids and contains linoleic acid.

All of these benefits help your overall health and well-being.

Storage information

Butter is easy to store and save for later, which means you can easily enjoy a butter board whenever you’re in the mood.

In order to save the butter for later, scrape it off the platter and onto a square of plastic wrap. Use the wrap to roll up the butter and keep it in the refrigerator for up to one week.
