    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

    Updated August 2023! It’s wonderful to see a widely distributed brand come out with dairy-free options, and Country Crock released several of them! They launched plant-based buttery sticks and plant-based buttery spread tubs, which are each currently available in two varieties. 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.

    Country Crock Plant Butter Sticks Review - Dairy-free, vegan, and sold in 2 varieties

    Country Crock Plant Butter Tubs in Two Dairy-Free Varieties

    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, while the sticks do not, and 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 avocado oil, and the other olive oil.

    with Avocado Oil

    Country Crock Plant Butter Sticks Review - Dairy-free, vegan, and sold in 2 varietiesIngredients: blend of plant-based oils (soybean, palm kernel, avocado, and palm fruit oil), water, salt, faba bean protein, soy lecithin, lactic acid, natural flavor, calcium disodium edta (to protect freshness), vitamin e acetate, vitamin a palmitate, beta carotene (color). contains: soy.*

    Taste has changed since going to larger tubs

    I used to rave about the taste but they have changed the formula since going to larger 14oz tub size. Very bland taste now. Maybe it’s the change from faba bean to pea protein, not sure but I do buy less of it now.

    The Best Dairy-free Butter You Will Find!

    This is my go to dairy free butter! I use this for spreading and saute-ing purposes and the sticks for any baking or cooking that needs more butter. Both are delicious and my dairy eating family prefers this butter to real butter taste-wise.

    Tried using this in a layer cake recipe and started my oven on fire due to all the oil draining out of the bottom of the pan. I double checked my measurements and started over. SAME RESULT!

    Don’t use this product for baking…ever.

    Tastes exactly like butter! I switched to butter from margarine years ago. Couldn’t tolerate butter any longer due to allergy. Best I’ve had!

    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!
