Let’s talk butter.

It’s not all the same, trust me.

There’s grass-fed butter, and then there’s the regular grain-fed stuff you see everywhere.

So what’s the difference, really? And why should it matter to you?

If you’ve ever enjoyed Lowrey Butter Cookies, that melt-in-your-mouth experience comes from one thing – high-quality, grass-fed, cultured butter from New Zealand.

That’s not by accident. Let’s break it down.

But what makes grass-fed butter so special?

1. Grass-Fed Butter vs Grain-Fed Butter: What’s the Difference?

It’s all in what the cows eat.

Grass-fed butter? That’s from cows grazing on natural grass, roaming outside, doing their thing.

Grain-fed butter? That’s from cows on processed feed, often grains or soy.

Here’s the kicker: cows are built to eat grass, not grains.

When they stick to a grass diet, their milk (and the butter made from it) is richer in nutrients, giving it that beautiful golden colour – a sign of quality.

2. Why Grass-Fed Butter is Just Better

Here’s why grass-fed butter trumps grain-fed every single time.

Packed with Nutrients

• Omega-3s for the Win: Grass-fed butter is loaded with these healthy fats that are great for the heart.
• Vitamins Galore: You’re getting vitamins A, D, E, and K2. Grain-fed? Barely has ‘em.
• Beta-Carotene: That natural golden hue? Comes from beta-carotene, a boost for skin, vision, and immune health.

Taste and Texture: The Deal-Breakers

Grass-fed butter isn’t just healthier; it tastes better.

It’s creamier, richer, and smoother. Bite into a Lowrey Butter Cookie, and that buttery flavour doesn’t just taste great – it stands out.

Why Cultured Butter Makes It Even Better

Now, here’s our secret weapon: cultured butter.

Think of it as grass-fed butter – but elevated.

Cultured butter is lightly fermented, which gives it this deeper, slightly tangy flavour you just don’t get with regular butter.

This complexity makes every bite of our cookies richer and even more satisfying.
