What You Should Know

You'd find this in the refrigerated dairy case, grabbed for morning toast, holiday baking, or simple stovetop cooking. It feels wholesome and indulgent with a nostalgic, home-cooked vibe—rich, creamy, smooth and spreadable from churning. The short ingredient list (pasteurized cream and lactic acid) and minimal manufacturing (pasteurization and churning) point to basic processing rather than ultra-processing.
