Minerva Dairy Offers Co-Packing and Private-Label Services for Organic, Oil-Infused Spreadable Butter

The family-owned Minerva Dairy has capacity to produce spreadable butter in various-size cups and 4-oz sticks for private-label clients and under its own brand.  

Three things on grocery shoppers’ minds these days are price, quality, and convenience. Minerva Dairy now has capacity to produce organic, oil-infused spreadable butter for co-packing, private-label, and under its own brand that checks all three boxes. The infusion of organic olive oil means a less costly butter, the certified organic label is a mark of high-quality ingredients, and the spreadable nature of the butter makes it easy to use right out of the refrigerator.

Minerva Dairy can manufacture oil- or flavor-infused organic butters in various package sizes (5.5-oz and 8-oz cups and 5-lb pails) to target specific markets. It also is one of the few dairies capable of producing at scale olive oil-infused butter in 4-oz sticks — an alternative option for customers to purchase individually.

“We’ve been making better butter and cheese for more than 129 years, and part of that means staying ahead of food trends and manufacturing innovations,” said Minerva Dairy fifth-generation co-owner Venae Watts. “We’ve seen the growing popularity of spreadable butters in grocers’ dairy cases, and the versatility of butter options in general. This expansion into organic, oil-infused spreadable butter for private-label clients and ourselves helps keep Minerva Dairy at the forefront of what customers want.”

Minerva Dairy, America’s oldest family-owned creamery, produces butter and cheese for retail and food manufacturing customers across US markets. An over 129-year creamery, Minerva Dairy uses a time-tested recipe of slow churned, 85% butterfat Amish-style butter that’s fit for the quality-obsessed home chef. Using only farm-fresh milk from pasture-raised cows, Minerva ensures a creamier, richer, and more flavorful product. Minerva’s cheeses, which include cheddar, Italian-styles, and Kosher/Halal recipes, are specification specific for each food manufacturing customer. The 5th generation creamery churns out R&D recipes of flavored infused butters in addition to the sea salt and unsalted products available in 8oz, 16oz, 1 & 2-pound hand-rolled versions. All Minerva Dairy products are GMO-free, antibiotic-free, and gluten-free. For more information, including where to find Minerva products throughout the US, visit http://www.minervadairy.com.
