The Lurpak Lighter block butter is being launched by Arla Foods next month in the UK to provide consumers with a new way to enhance their favorite recipes.
The light butter block is made with three ingredients including butter, water and salt, which speaks to the concerns of consumers who are weary of too many additives in light food products. The product will come in a 250-gram size option.
Spokesperson for Lurpak Laura Butler spoke on the new Lurpak Lighter block butter saying, "A key barrier we see in the category is that consumers often believe that lower fat means unnatural. As the number one brand in the category, we want to tackle this and offer shoppers a new block butter product that is lower in fat and contains only three natural ingredients."
