Why We’re Choosing Real Butter — All the Way from Ohio to Georgia
There’s something undeniably comforting about rich, creamy butter. It transforms simple bread into a treat, elevates sautéed veggies, and brings your favorite baked goods to life. That’s why we’ve been using Minerva Amish Sea Salt Butter in our kitchen — real, simple, traditional butter that’s made the way it’s meant to be.
What Makes Real Butter Special
Unlike many spreads and margarine-style products, real butter is made from just cream and (in the case of salted butter) sea salt — nothing artificial, no hidden additives, no “imitation” ingredients. Butter like this offers:
A rich, creamy flavor that only traditional churned cream can deliver.
A simple ingredient list you can trust: pasteurized cream and sea salt.
A texture that melts beautifully on warm toast or in a hot skillet.
Health-wise, butter contains essential fat-soluble vitamins like A and D and short-chain fatty acids that may support digestion and metabolism (compared with processed substitutes) — plus it’s naturally gluten-free.
If you’re entertaining or just love authentic food experiences, products like Minerva Amish Roll Butter are wonderful for cooking and baking — with that extra bit of flavor you notice immediately.
A Butter With Heart
One of the neat things about the butter we use is where it comes from. We’re based in Georgia, but this little gem of a product hails from Minerva, Ohio — where Mike’s family roots are. It’s fun to think about how something so artisanal travels from the place his ancestors called home all the way down to our kitchen, bringing with it tradition, history, and a taste that reminds us of home.
There’s a bit of joy in knowing that when we spread this butter on our biscuits or melt it into a pan of sautéed greens, we’re connecting with a place and a family story that matters to us.
How We Use It
Here are a few of our favorite ways to enjoy this butter:
Morning toast or biscuits — simply spread and savor.
Baking — rich, creamy butter makes cookies and pastries turn out tender and flavorful.
Cooking & finishing dishes — use it to sauté vegetables or finish a sauce for that silky mouthfeel only real butter can bring.
It’s easy to take butter for granted, but choosing a high-quality, traditional product — and appreciating the story behind it — makes everyday cooking feel a little more special.
