Califia Farms is known for its alternative milk beverages and the plant-based brand is venturing into a new category with the creation of Plant Butter. The new cultured plant-based butter spreads are offered in varieties like Sea Salt with Avocado Oil or Sea Salt with Olive Oil, which feature other nourishing plant-based oils and nuts like coconut oil, tigernuts and cashews.
The spreadable butter alternatives are cultured with nutritional yeast and offer formulas that are free from both palm and canola oils, as well as any trans fats. The uniquely formulated butter alternatives from Califia Farms are described as being a fusion of European style and West Coast wellness, especially as they promise "more flavor, body and depth for you to spread, melt and bake."
