How Our Organic, Grass-fed Butter is Made

Kalona SuperNatural™ butter is fresh, creamy, and delicious because we make it the old-fashioned way. We start with organic milk from grass-fed cows on sustainable family farms.  We separate the cream and churn it into butter almost immediately after the milk arrives at the creamery.

We create our butter in small batches using a hands-on method rarely seen in the 21st century.  Each batch requires the butter maker’s careful supervision to ensure that it turns out just right. After the butter is molded into sticks, it is hand-packed into cartons and ready for the retail shelf.
