    Country Crock Plant Butter Tubs Help Spread More Dairy-Free Options

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on May 16, 2019 Dairy-Free Butter Reviews (Spreads, Sticks & Oils), Product Reviews

    It’s wonderful to see a widely distributed brand come out with dairy-free options, and Country Crock has released five of them! They’ve launched three plant-based buttery sticks and two plant-based buttery spread tubs. In this post, I’m covering the Country Crock Plant Butter Tubs in detail, but you can read about and rate the sticks on this other post.

    At first, I assumed that Country Crock’s Plant Butter Sticks were the best option for baking. But they state that Country Crock Plant Butter Tubs are “excellent for cooking, baking, and spreading” too. However, these product lines do have different formulas.

    The tubs contain soy (oil and lecithin), while the sticks do not. But the tubs are made with faba bean protein instead of pea protein, like the sticks. So I suspect your preference will come down to taste or dietary need, rather than the packaging.

    The two tubs, or “buttery spreads” as I like to call them, are almost identical. But one has a splash of almond oil, and the other olive oil.

    the taste is great, BUT how ever it has Lactic Acid in it

    Response from Go Dairy Free

    It does contain lactic acid, but this is not a dairy ingredient. Enjoy! See our dairy ingredient guide to better understand confusing ingredients -> https://www.godairyfree.org/dairy-free-grocery-shopping-guide/dairy-ingredient-list-2

    Better tasting than standard tub spreads.

    I found this an excellent spread for breads and cooked vegetables. I have not tried cooking with it yet.

    Great Tasting Butter

    This butter tasted great. I had given up bread and butter for various reasons, but after spreading this on toast and back at it again, on occasion. It’s also great in oatmeal and various other dishes, with a light and rich flavor that delights the palate.

    Best tasting vegan butter by far!

    I have only tried the country Crock tub with almond oil….and I am telling you…..super delicious…..much better than any other vegan butter brand….especially if you do not like coconut oil or coconut cream, which is what you will find in most alternative buttery spreads….Earth Balance vegan butter does not contain coconut oil or cream and is not bad, however, the Country Crock is far superior in taste!

    I have been using this product for several weeks now and I love it. It is dairy free. I cannot speak for its safety or how it differs from other vegetable or corn oil based spreads but I can tell you that it is absolutely delicious. I would strongly urge you to try it.

    At 66 years old I’ve been eating butter since I was a baby according to my mom. I don’t eat margarine and I hate the rate. I can remember eating butter when noone else in the house did. But this plant butter has allowed me to leave the butter behind for obvious reasons. I’m a fan for life. Even my husband loves it!

    Can make some things soupy

    I recently started going dairy-free. I tried the almond oil tub on a baked potato and cooked carrots. It did fine on the potato, but the carrots were soupy. I will use this again, but I will be more selective.

    Good but cookies really SPREAD!

    Rated 4 out of 5
    July 18, 2020

    Was excited to find dairy and soy free sticks at the regular supermarket (instead of the far pricey natural food store). I’ve used other nondairy butter/margarine in tubs for baking but it’s a pain. I’ve been using the Country Crock sticks for a couple months now and while I don’t have any taste or smell concerns I’m finding the cookies spread A LOT. Doughs and batters are just thinner when using these sticks, even when I firm up the dough in the fridge. I’m going to try a batch with half shortening. Anyone found other solutions?

    Response from Go Dairy Free

    Since it is an oil-water mixture, there can be spreading if the buttery sticks are not properly emulsified and “bound” to prevent separation. What you can do is simply reduce the amount you use, and add a little liquid to the dough (milk beverage, applesauce, dairy-free yogurt, etc) until it reaches a proper cookie dough consistency. Cutting in half shortening is an option, too.
