I recently went to Costco, (a huge Super Market chain), and saw a new brand of spread, in the food part of the store, called, Land O Lakes Fresh Buttery Taste Spread.
I had seen the ads,
that say, ’’Land O Lakes Fresh Buttery Taste Spread, where goodness begins’’.
I had tried their butter before, so I wasn’t worried about trying their spread.
:The Container::
The container is plastic, and is round. If you’ve seen their butter it is a taller than that container.
On the bottom of the container, there is a medium blue strip that tells you what it is.
Like all Land Lakes products there is a scene with a lake surrounded by trees, and a lady sitting in the centre, holding a container.
The tube holds 453 grams, and I bought it for $2.50 CAD.
::The Spread::
When I opened the container the spread looked like a soft butter. I spread it on some toast, and if you had put a bandana around my eyes, and asked me what I was eating, I would have said, ’’butter’’!
I could taste a nutty flavour with a slight tangy back note.
After I used it, I did what the instructions were and put it into my refrigerator, so it wouldn’t go rancid.
::What Can You Use IT For::
You can use it as a replacement for butter, to cook, bake or use on bread or muffins.
::The Company::
The Company is base in the State called ’’the land of Lakes’’, Minnesota, USA. They opened their firs dairy in 1921.In 1990 they copied the French Chefs in making a new American butter, similar to the sweet butter in France.
You can buy there butter and spread in many Countries, Worldwide. They make a lot of other products and if you want to see them, the url is:

::The Nutritional Values::
There are 80 calories in each tablespoon, (and every one needs 3 tablespoons of butter or olive oil a day), to keep their body healthy.
The is 8 grams of fat, (mostly butter but a little sweet cream), 1.5 grams of saturated fat, (canola oil), 3 % of sodium and 10% of Vitamin A. There is no cholesterol, carbohydrates, fibre, protein or sugar.
::A Recipe, (from their cook book)::
Gingerbread Bars.
Preparation time: 10 minutes.
Baking time: 16 minutes.
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups of sugar.
1 cup of the spread.
1 egg.
3 tablespoons of molasses.
3 cups of all purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda.
1 teaspoons fo ground cinnamon.
2 teaspoons of ground ginger.
Instructions:
Heat oven to 117C/350F.
Combine sugar, Soft Baking Butter with Canola Oil, egg and molasses in large bowl. Beat at medium speed until creamy. Reduce speed to low; add flour, baking soda, cinnamon and ginger. Beat until well mixed.
Press dough into ungreased 15x10x1, inch jelly-roll pan.
Bake for 16 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned around edges.
Cool completely. Cut into different shapes with cookie cutter or cut into bars.
::My Conclusion::
It has fewer calories than butter, and less bad fats that are in margarine. Costco is an hours drive from my home, so I can’t buy it as often as I would like to.
If you haven’t tried Land O Lakes Fresh Buttery Taste Spread, I highly recommend it to you.
Thanks for reading my review.
