LAND O LAKES® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt was awarded a 2013 Better Homes and Gardens Best New Product Award in the butter category.
The Better Homes and Gardens Best New Product Awards (BNPAs) are the leading consumer-voted awards program in North America, honoring new consumer products in the categories of Beauty, Food & Beverage, Health & Personal Care, and Household.
The winning products were chosen directly by more than 77,500 consumers who participated in an extensive nationwide survey, the American Shopper Study, conducted by independent marketing research firm BrandSpark International in partnership with Better Homes and Gardens. The 2013 survey had 209 products representing 137 brands in 63 categories.
LAND O LAKES® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt is part of the Land O’Lakes exclusive Half Stick line. It is one of three products available in premeasured, easy-to-use Half Sticks, individually-wrapped to keep the butter tasting fresher, longer.
Many consumers use olive oil and sea salt in their everyday cooking, often combining the ingredients with the rich flavor of butter. LAND O LAKES® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt conveniently works in place of other oils or cooking agents, while enriching the flavor of favorite recipes.
“LAND O LAKES® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt is a great way to enhance the flavor of many dishes.” said Heather Anfang, Director of Marketing at Land O’Lakes. “We’re pleased that consumers enjoy the flavor of the new butter, and that they find the Half Sticks convenient for everyday cooking.”
The Best New Product Awards are North America’s preeminent gauge of habits, trends and key insights into the minds of consumers.
“With thousands of new products introduced each year, it can be challenging for consumers to choose the best options for themselves and their families,” said Robert Levy, President and CEO of BrandSpark International and Founder of the BNPAs. “The Best New Product Awards help shoppers sort through the myriad of new products on store shelves, and gives them the confidence that the product they select, such as LAND O LAKES® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt, has been endorsed by consumers just like them.”
“It's great to see consumers recognize and applaud a new product," said James Carr, EVP & President, Better Homes and Gardens. And in turn, these awards offer a terrific opportunity for us to share the winners with our audience of nearly 40 million."
