About Butter, Margarine & Plant-Based Alternatives
For those embracing plant-based living, our vegan spreads mimic the creaminess of butter using coconut oil, shea butter, or olive oil bases – think smooth textures without the dairy. Brands like Vitalite and Pure deliver on taste, perfect for dairy-free baking or as a healthier toast topper. These alternatives are fortified with vitamins and free from palm oil where possible, supporting sustainable choices.
Use cases abound: whip up shortbread biscuits with real butter for authentic crumble, opt for margarine in everyday cakes to keep things light, or go plant-based for vegan Victoria sponge. All our products emphasise quality ingredients, long shelf life when stored in the fridge, and versatility in both sweet and savoury dishes. Whether you're a home baker, busy parent, or health-conscious cook, these spreads enhance meals effortlessly. Explore our range and find your new kitchen staple today.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between butter, margarine, and plant-based alternatives?
Butter is made from churned cream, offering rich flavour and higher fat content ideal for baking. Margarine is vegetable oil-based, often lower in saturated fats and suitable for spreading or cooking. Plant-based alternatives replicate butter's taste using non-dairy ingredients like nuts or oils, perfect for vegans and those with lactose intolerance.
Are your plant-based spreads suitable for baking?
Yes, many of our plant-based options are specifically formulated for baking, providing the aeration and structure needed for cakes, pastries, and biscuits. Always check product labels for best results, as some perform better in certain recipes than others.
How should I store these spreads?
Keep butter and margarine in the fridge for up to three months, or freeze for longer storage. Plant-based alternatives often have similar requirements but check for any specific instructions; most maintain quality best when chilled.
Do you offer organic or grass-fed butter?
We stock a variety of organic, grass-fed, and conventional butters to meet different preferences. These premium options deliver superior taste from cows grazed on natural pastures.
Are there nut-free plant-based alternatives?
Absolutely, we carry nut-free options made from sunflower or rapeseed oils, ensuring safe choices for allergy sufferers without compromising on creaminess or flavour.
