Websterville, Vt. – Well-known for their savory goat cheeses, Vermont Butter & Cheese Creamery (VBCC) is introducing two new products for the sweet tooth this fall: Cultured Butter with Maple & Sea Salt, and Crème Fraiche with Bourbon Madagascar Vanilla. Both products will be available exclusively at Whole Foods Market stores nationwide in November.
The Cultured Butter with Maple & Sea Salt combines high-quality Vermont cream from a local St. Albans Cooperative Creamery with pure Vermont maple sugar from Butternut Mountain Farms and sea salt crystals. This regional combination of Vermont terroir highlights the contrast of salty crunch with the sweetness of late harvest maple. VBCC butter is cultured and churned in small batches to produce a rich, European-style butter with 86 percent butterfat. Whether stirred into hot oatmeal, baked into cookies, melted over roasted squash, or simply spread over a warm piece of crusty bread, the Sea Salt & Maple Butter delivers pure Vermont sweet and savory.
Crème Fraiche is a longtime staple of French cuisine and VBCC has been making it in Vermont for 25 years. This new Crème Fraiche with Bourbon Madagascar Vanilla combines the sublime flavor of pure vanilla with tart crème fraiche. The result is a subtly sweet, rich and nutty taste well suited to topping fall fruit tarts and pies, mixing into brownies, warming as a sauce, or as a base for crème brulee.
The 4-ounce Cultured Butter with Maple & Sea Salt and the 8-ounce Crème Fraiche with Bourbon Madagascar Vanilla will be available exclusively at Whole Foods Markets beginning Nov. 1, 2012.
"We love collaborating with Vermont Butter & Cheese Creamery to provide our shoppers with unique ingredients that add interest to their cooking," said Cathy Strange, global cheese buyer for Whole Foods Market.
