Frequently Asked Questions

Exactly what a busy kitchen wants: rich, flavored butter in generous, resealable tubs you can scoop straight from at a moment’s notice. They suit restaurant chains, hotels, and high-volume foodservice kitchens finishing sauces, loading a prep station, or building a signature dish, plus food manufacturers working butter into a line. Grab, scoop, and get back to cooking.

Compound butter is butter blended with additional ingredients, like herbs, garlic, citrus, or spices, to create a flavored butter ready to use in recipes or served at the table. At Butterball Farms, all our flavored butter products are compound butters, and yes, they are just as delicious as they sound.

Tubs come pre-mixed with house favorites like garlic herb, or formulated to your exact spec. Custom is where it gets fun: our culinary team works with regional and national restaurant groups and brands to build a craveable flavor that’s yours alone, and that same custom work runs across our dollops, spreads, and sauces too.

Tubs are made for volume, so they’re sized for prep lines and high-throughput kitchens rather than the tabletop. Our garlic herb tub, for instance, comes in a one-pound size. Tell us your application and we’ll match the format to how your kitchen moves.

Our tubs ship frozen in resealable containers built to be opened, used, and closed again without fuss, so a station can pull what it needs and keep moving. Store them cold to hold flavor and freshness until service calls.

Butter tubs are available in multiple sizes depending on your volume and operational setup. Contact us and we’ll help you choose the right fit.

Our plastic butter tubs can be washed and recycled once emptied. Every bit counts.

Butterball Farms manufactures and sells flavored compound butter products, including bulk butter tubs, directly to qualifying foodservice and food manufacturing customers. We’re not a commodity butter distributor; we’re a flavor-forward butter manufacturer with serious quality standards to match.

Flavor that lands the same every time, made with butter and produced in a facility holding a BRC-AA rating. For a kitchen, that means less scratch prep, steady results across every shift, and a flavor you can stand behind. That consistency is the value our customers keep coming back for.

Stocked options like the garlic herb tub are available through your distributor, including DOT Foods, and custom formulations start with a direct conversation with our team. Minimum orders apply, which is why tubs are a strong fit for chains and higher-volume kitchens.
