From how it’s made to the secrets behind its golden hue, this blog explores the essence of butter and how it makes Lowrey Butter Cookies irresistible.

What Is Butter and How Is It Made?

Butter is a dairy product crafted from cream, churned until it solidifies. At its heart, it’s simplicity at its finest—a blend of cream and sometimes a pinch of salt. Learn more about how butter is made andits fascinating origins.

Why Butter Matters in Lowrey Cookies

• Pure Ingredients: Lowrey Butter Cookies are made with 42% New Zealand cultured butter. This high-quality butter is churned from milk produced by free-grazing, grass-fed cows.
• Melt-in-Your-Mouth Texture: The high butterfat content ensures each bite is rich, creamy, and utterly satisfying.

Why Is Butter Yellow?

The rich golden color of butter comes from beta-carotene, a naturally occurring vitamin in the grass that cows munch on. This compound is also responsible for giving carrots their vibrant hue. Learn more about why butter is yellow.

The New Zealand Advantage

New Zealand's lush, green pastures produce milk with higher beta-carotene levels, making our butter particularly golden and flavorful. It’s the secret behind the unique taste of Lowrey Butter Cookies.

Salted vs. Unsalted Butter

Salted butter contains added salt, enhancing its flavor and acting as a natural preservative. Unsalted butter, on the other hand, has a creamy, mild taste. Find out more about the salted vs. unsaltedbutter debate.
