Churn Butter reviews and discussion

I haven’t tried to cook with the butter yet since I rarely cook either simple proteins/veggies or egg dishes, but maybe I will in the future. Instead I used the butters to spread on bread with soft cheese like Camembert and Harrison and it was quite flavorful. Anchovy flavor would make a good sandwich spread.

I tried two different versions: Garlic & Shallot (G&S) and Hot Honey (HH). The first had a solid hit of garlic, though I found the shallot flavor to be lacking, and the second had a nice, zesty zing. Like a previous reviewer, I had some issues with determining the best items on which to spread the butters. Other than using on bread or plain rice, when I tried other options the G&S version was easily overpowered by other flavors. The HH fared better, though I admit I didn't try blending it with nearly as many possibilities. While tasty, given the cost (pretty expensive for 3 oz.) and the ease of whipping up my own similar blends I think these are more of a treat than a day-to-day purchase.

Churn makes some really tasty flavored butters! I'm really low income and these were a bit of a splurge but I got them when they were on sale. I use olive oil to cook most of my food and I save these for toast! The garlic & shallot is especially amazing on sourdough toast!

The shallot butter is delicious and made my at-home chicken noodle soup recipe that much better! I take rotisserie chicken from the grocery store, sautee shallots, garlic, and onion in the butter, add the chicken quickly to crisp it up a bit, throw in some herbs and broth, and add the noodles at the last step. Delicious!

Great Concept, and I mostly liked the flavor of the butter. However, I really struggled to find the right foods to pair it with. The only thing that I ever was able to get it to work with was on top of some toasted bread to make little croutons. You would think it would work on top of vegetables, but I found that I did not. There’s a bit of a strange aftertaste.

Amazing high quality butters offered in so many different flavors!

I love a good butter. These are delicious. However, they're expensive! Not sure I would order again.

Best on toast! or paired with a "blank canvas" food. I find that the flavors get lost, instead of amplified, when added to recipes with redundant ingredients. They're a convenient alternative to making my own compound butters. Big thumbs up for grass-fed pasture raised butter, and yay for rolling out at Costco's now. In love with the rebrand. The short shelf life prevents me from buying ahead, so I really only pick up on a whim.

I recently ordered a sampler of Churn's delicious compound butters. They come in a range of interesting and versatile flavors, from truffle (my favorite) to miso to their single sweet offering, maple cinnamon. Churn makes European-style butter, which is especially rich, creamy, and flavorful, and I love that they only use grass-fed milk. You can absolutely taste the difference. So far, I've made one heck of a gourmet grilled cheese using the truffle butter, elevated my morning scrambled eggs with garlic and shallot butter, and managed the easiest, tastiest cacio e pepe spaghetti with (what else?) the cacio e pepe butter and some Parmesan. I have yet to cook with the pesto and miso butters, but I've tasted both and can confirm that they are basically good enough to eat right out of the container. Highly, highly recommended.

I really liked the butter. It was very flavorful and goes well with just about everything: eggs, toast, etc!

I tried these at Costco when they were sampling. The cinnamon sugar was my favorite but I ended up buying the garlic & shallot because I thought it would be more versatile. Haven't used it very much, to be honest, although it does taste good!
