Frequently Asked Questions

PRODUCT

  • What makes Red Barn Creamery butter different?
    Red Barn Creamery butter is crafted from 100% American cream and batch-churned in our Kansas creamery to contain 84% butterfat, a higher butterfat content than the 80–81% butterfat found in most American butter. The result is a rich, creamy butter thoughtfully crafted for exceptional performance.
  • What is the butterfat content of Red Barn Creamery Butter?
    Red Barn Creamery Salted and Unsalted Butters have a butterfat content of 84%.
  • What does it mean to have 84% butterfat?
    Red Barn Creamery butter contains 84% butterfat, which is a higher butterfat content than the 80–81% butterfat found in most other American butter. It's also among the highest available on the market, on par with most premium European-style butter. All butter is made up of mostly butterfat, along with the water, trace amounts of protein, and trace amounts of sugar that are naturally present from the cream. Higher butterfat content means there is less water in the final product.
  • Why does butterfat percentage matter?
    Butterfat carries and enhances the flavors in recipes and dictates the texture of the butter. Higher butterfat enhances the overall smooth, creamy texture of butter. Butterfat also creates creamy, smooth, flaky, crumbly or crispy textures depending on how it's used.
  • Is Red Barn Creamery butter good for baking?
    Yes. Red Barn Creamery butter can be used in place of regular butter in your favorite baking recipes. Its 84% butterfat delivers rich flavor and creamy texture to everything from cookies and cakes to pie crusts and pastries.
  • Is Red Barn Creamery butter good for cooking?
    Yes. Red Barn Creamery butter can be used anywhere you would use regular butter. Whether you're sautéing, finishing a sauce, or spreading it on warm bread, it delivers rich taste and smooth texture.
  • Is Red Barn Creamery butter U.S. Grade AA?
    Yes. Red Barn Creamery butter is U.S. Grade AA butter, the highest quality grade awarded by the USDA.

  • Is Red Barn Creamery butter made from cream from grass-fed cows?
    Red Barn Creamery does not source only from grassfed cows. We use 100% American cream sourced from a variety of dairy farmers in the U.S.
  • What is the difference between American butter and European style butter?
    American butter typically contains 80–81% butterfat, while European-style butters are churned to a higher fat content resulting in a richer taste and creamier texture. Red Barn Creamery butter is crafted from 100% American cream and batch-churned in our Kansas creamery to 84% butterfat, higher than most American butter and on par with premium European-style butter. For years, premium butter has largely meant imported brands. Red Barn Creamery offers rich flavor and exceptional performance.
  • Why choose Red Barn Creamery Premium American butter over premium European-style butter?
    For years, premium butter has been defined by European imported butter and its heritage of cultured, tangy flavor. Red Barn Creamery offers a different point of view: extraordinary dairy isn't defined by where it's from, it's defined by how it's made. Red Barn Creamery butter is crafted from 100% American cream and batch-churned in our Kansas creamery to 84% butterfat, delivering extra creamy texture and exceptional performance.
