Everything ships frozen from our Grand Rapids plant and arrives portion-ready, so your team pulls it from the freezer and plates it. No scooping, no weighing, no shaping during service. Browse our bulk butter products, or bring us a flavor brief. Our R&D team formulates compound butters, sauces, glazes, and spreads your competitors can’t buy.
Serving hundreds of covers a night, across properties or across a fleet, comes down to consistency. Standing out comes down to flavor. Here’s what we bring to both.
Every batch is made from Grade AA cream, and we hold a BRC AA food safety rating. When a brand standards team or a customer audit looks at your supplier list, we hold up. We also offer vegan, plant-based, and kosher options, and our butter is gluten-free unless a flavor specifically includes gluten ingredients.
Our shaped butters are individually frozen, so a server lifts a rose or a medallion from the tray and sets it on the bread plate without it tearing or slumping. The shape your guest sees at table 40 matches the one at table 1. It’s a small detail that reads as care, and it’s the kind of detail hospitality is built on.
Every piece comes out at a consistent weight, from 7.1 gram butter balls to dollops between 0.4 and 1.25 ounces, so purchasing can forecast by occupancy instead of guessing. That same consistency is why portion-controlled products work in tight airline galleys and cruise kitchens, where weights are strict and there’s no room for error. Pre-portioned servings also mean less waste coming back on the bus tray.
Flavor touches more of your service than the bread basket. A few places our hospitality partners put ours to work.
Pre-portioned shapes and flavored dollops speed up plating when the kitchen is pushing out three hundred identical covers, and a garlic herb or citrus dollop finishes a plated protein without a saucier on the line. For room service, single-serve portions go straight onto the tray, look composed, and hold up from the kitchen to the door. Everything travels frozen and thaws on schedule, so the same portions serve clean at altitude or at sea.
Bring our R&D team your menu and they’ll build a flavor around it. A brown butter with sage for the steakhouse, a spicy honey for the fried chicken sandwich, a compound butter, sauce, or spread nobody else can put on a table. We were also the first company to produce logo-embossed butter at scale, so the pat itself can carry your brand mark in every property. Start with a custom flavor conversation and taste it in sample form within weeks.
Butterball Farms makes a range of wholesale butter and flavor products suited to hotel kitchens, banquet operations, and travel catering. These are the ones our hospitality customers order most.
A classic tabletop portion. Our butter balls come 1,152 to a case, each one 7.1 grams, so plate presentation and food cost stay consistent from the first cover to the last. They pair as well with a banquet bread service as they do with a breakfast buffet.
For the back of house, resealable tubs give your kitchen scoopable butter in volume for cooking, baking, and sauce work. Tubs come in classic and flavored options, so your signature compound butter shows up identical in every kitchen you run.
Dollops are pre-portioned mounds of flavored or classic butter, ideal for room service trays, in-flight meals, and grab-and-go breakfast. Flavors run across sweet, savory, herby, and spicy, from honey to garlic herb, and we can formulate one around your menu.
Roses, medallions, and embossed pats give the tabletop a finished look before the first course lands. Each piece is individually frozen and ready to serve, and shapes can carry your logo. Guests eat with their eyes first, and shaped butter is the least expensive way to show them the meal was considered.
