Give your brunch some serious wow factor with Cultured Maple Butter. From Vermont's Ploughgate Creamery, this is small-batch, ultra-creamy butter made in the European tradition with local cream. Culturing brings a slight tang that balances with the subtle toasty sweetness of Vermont maple syrup and a sprinkle of sea salt. Your next plate of homemade pancakes (or biscuits or cornbread) is only complete with a generous dollop of this butter and a drizzle of Crown Maple Syrup.

“You don’t often think of butter as a gift, but I love to show up with a sweet little package of this maple butter when I’m staying with a friend. It’s so creamy and a touch sweet and incredible on cinnamon toast.”

Pasturized Cream, Salt, Maple Syrup, Cultures

The main difference between cultured and conventional butter is the addition of beneficial live cultures to the milk, which create a flavor that’s tangier and richer.
The local cream used to make Ploughgate’s butter comes from dairies located in Vermont’s Green Mountains.
Ploughgate kneads their salt in by hand and also manually forms their butter into balls.

Ploughgate Creamery makes artisanal cultured butter in the old-fashioned European style in North Bennington, Vermont.
In 2008, founder Marisa Mauro opened her creamery in the Northeast Kingdom with the intention of making cheese.
By 2012, she had moved to the Mad River Valley and switched her focus to butter.
Marisa has been working on dairy farms since the age of 15, when she worked as a farmhand near her hometown in Southern Vermont.
In 2022, Ploughgate joined Maplebrook Farm in North Bennington to expand production while maintaining quality and their artisan roots.
