Butter Flavors

Delivering the true taste and mouthfeel of butter to your dairy and dairy-free applications requires specialized flavor expertise and resources. At Edlong, we use over a century of experience exclusively focused on the taste of dairy and a cultivated library of hundreds of dairy-free and dairy flavors that can be applied in thousands of combinations to offer the perfect solution for your unique application development challenges.

Everything The Taste of Butter Can Be

Butter profiles have distinct differences from region to region around the world. Taste varies, depending on the cow’s diet, how the cream is processed, climate, and even cultural preferences. At Edlong, we’ve captured these nuances with the industry’s broadest butter and dairy-free butter flavor library – featuring global profiles that range from sweet and creamy, to brown and cooked. Edlong’s global team of dairy-flavor experts is uniquely skilled at leveraging and customizing our best-in-class library of dairy and dairy-free butter flavors to develop solutions for your applications.

Our authentic-tasting dairy-free and dairy butter flavors can also be used to help improve flavor consistency, boost and balance taste profiles, and increase the perception of creamy mouthfeel.

Our flavors are available in a variety of forms, even ones that are heat stable and can overcome the most intense processing conditions. Other formats include liquid/oil-soluble, paste, spray dry, powder, emulsions, and more. We also certify flavors to meet your label restrictions such as Organic, Kosher Dairy, Kosher Pareve, Halal, Non-GMO, and Whole Foods Compliant.

Profiles

Edlong’s knowledge of regional and global butter flavors enables us to create distinctive, concentrated butter profiles that range from churned to toasted, all the way to earthy or fresh.

Grass Fed Butter

The taste attributes of global butters vary by the type of grass cows eat to produce milk. This flavor is described as more animal/barnyard or grassy and fresh in character with a creamy and milky base profile consumers expect.
Sweet Butter

Rich creamy, milky profile with the light sweetness expected of an indulgent buttery profile that also provides mouthfeel.
Cultured Butter

Flavors that provide the expected creaminess of butter with the added fermented and savory notes associated with cultures. This line of flavors provides more depth to culinary and prepared foods, sauces, and dip applications where the richness and robust taste elevates the overall profile.
Cooked Butter

The smell of buttered popcorn with authentic melted, toasted, and brown notes are made more versatile with an extensive line of cooked butter flavors with the heat tolerance and aromatics expected by consumers.
Vegan Butter

Dairy-Free flavors that deliver authentic butter profiles, richness and mouthfeel. Build base dairy notes and authentic butter taste with our extensive portfolio of vegan compliant flavors.
Margarine

Flavors that deliver authentic butter profiles, richness and mouthfeel, while masking any off-notes from vegetable oils or other functional ingredients.
