Melt away costs, not quality, with LAND O LAKES® Clarified Butter.

When you think of lobster and sauté, clarified butter naturally comes to mind. For many operators, so does the costly daily ritual of clarifying time.

This is why LAND O LAKES® Clarified Butter is such a popular choice.

Like clarified butter prepared on site, LAND O LAKES® Clarified Butter gives you the butterfat that brings out the best in sautés and seafood such as lobster. Unlike clarified butter prepared on site, it saves valuable prep time and the materials waste associated with clarifying – with the assurance of consistent quality, every time.

The process of clarifying butter involves careful heating to separate the butterfat from water and milk solids. This is a time-consuming process with low-yield results – clarify too carefully, and you can lose some of end product. Try to rush the process, and your result won’t be a true clarified butter.

With LAND O LAKES® Clarified Butter, you pay for only the butterfat – not the milk solids and water that are discarded during clarifying. There’s no delay, and no guesswork – simply scoop a portion from the tub, heat, and it’s ready to use. Because it’s freshly prepared and packaged, it performs just like butter clarified on site. For serving, it delivers the rich, dairy essence that compliments seafood perfectly. In high-temperature sauté situations it also holds up wonderfully, without burning, which is why most of the operators who buy it use it for cooking.

Like those operators, you’ll appreciate the time and materials you’ll save when you use LAND O LAKES® Clarified Butter. Best of all, that’s the only difference you and your customers will notice. So you can continue to offer all of the quality menu items your customers expect, without all of the cost.
