    Miyoko’s Vegan Butter Measures Up with Salted and Unsalted Varieties

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on April 25, 2020 Dairy-Free Butter Reviews (Spreads, Sticks & Oils), Product Reviews

    Miyoko’s Vegan Butter has taken on different looks over the years, but they’ve stayed true to the European-style formula and thus far, to the buttery name. Despite extreme backlash (and even a lawsuit) from the dairy community, Miyoko won’t back down. She’s kept the word “butter” on the packaging, but made it clear that this is a vegan product, and “made from plants.”

    And Miyoko continues to progress with new improvements. In the spring of 2020, she launched an Unsalted version of her European-Style Cultured Vegan Butter, and both varieties now have measurements on the wrap. They come in single one-cup blocks, and are marked for tablespoon and 1/3 cup increments.

    Miyoko’s Vegan Butter Measures Up with Salted and Unsalted Varieties

    It can be hard (read: near impossible) to find a dairy-free unsalted butter alternative. So I’m quite sure the unsalted version of Miyoko’s Vegan Butter will be very well received. And its rare that I make a “new packaging” announcement, but the measurements are a big improvement! Miyoko is truly thinking about versatility for cooking and baking with her latest buttery updates.

    We have sampled Miyoko’s Vegan Butter on toast, and it was positively delicious. I seriously couldn’t get enough of the creamy mouthfeel and perfectly salted flavor. It didn’t really taste “cultured,” but it did have a touch of umami that I haven’t tasted in other butter alternatives.

    This is a firm, slice-able butter alternative (much like butter sticks) that’s intended for spreading, baking, and cooking. If you are looking for buttery spread, in tubs, then have a look at Miyoko’s Oatmilk Vegan Butter.

    And don’t forget to leave your own rating and review below once you’ve tried either variety of Miyoko’s European-Style Vegan Butter. It helps others make an informed purchasing decision!

    How Miyoko makes Her European-Style Cultured Vegan Butter Blocks

    Miyoko shuns palm oil in her butter formulation, but she uses a base of coconut oil and sunflower oil with just a touch of cashew cream. It’s fermented with live and active cultures and churned to achieve a taste and consistency that’s similar to European-Style butter.

    Taste is so good!

    Rated 5 out of 5

    It’s not easy to get even real butter of the European cultured variety in my neighbourhood so when I saw this vegan version I had to try, even though not strictly vegan myself. (For me taste and good food of any type trumps all.) I was very surprised to find it really did taste like European butter!! So many vegan alternatives seem to include a coconut flavour which I find distracting in savoury products. Even though the ingredient label lists coconut oil, this butter did not taste of coconuts! I think maybe the culturing process put paid to that and introduced instead a lovely tang. If I have enough $$ in my purse, I will for sure buy this product again. Love it! (I just had some slathered on a thick slice of toast made from ‘A Bread Affair’ seedy bread – soooo good!) Unfortunately, it’s too expensive for me to think of baking or cooking with it, even regular no-name butter is now over $7.00 per lb and this vegan butter would be totally out of reach. I can imagine that this level of quality would make it expensive to produce so not quibbling about the price, just that there might be many of us out here who would not be able to choose it for regular use.

    Great Taste, Inaccurate Weight

    I love the taste of this butter. When it comes to baking, though, you’ll be frustrated to find out the packages are a almost a full 2 ounces under the stated weight of 8 oz, meaning a clumsy task for portioning butter for recipes as the lines on the package mean nothing. You better not plan on 1 box equaling 1 cup.

    I live this butter. However oil in the product is still a concern. Is there ever any heating process to manufacture the coconut and sunflower oil? I am WFPB and I wish there was a way to make your product without oil.

    Response from Go Dairy Free

    What you are seeking isn’t possible. Nut butters are whole food, but you can’t use them for sautéing and many cooking / baking applications in the same way. And as you’d expect, they taste like nuts. Oil is extracted from the plants, and is what is needed to create these types of alternatives. They are simply oil-water emulsions. If you want to cut oil, I’d suggest using just broth or water to saute, and using nut butter for spreads rather than butter alternative. You can use other fatty foods in baking, like coconut milk, nut butter, avocado, etc.

    So good!

    Doesn’t taste like butter, but tastes great

    Miyokos is my favorite butter. Does it taste like butter, no. Is it a flavor you will crave on toast, etc, yes. It has a cultured flavor, so if you have ever had European butter it is along that flavor. It bakes just like butter, browns in a pan, and spreads nicely. It really is a complete substitute for butter.

    I’m new to being dairy free and loved butter, so while this is not identical it has its own unique flavor that is really delicious.

    Doesn’t Taste Like Butter

    Rated 2 out of 5

    This is much like the consistency of butter….the spreadability, also it melts well….the only problem, is that it doesn’t taste like butter. The number one ingredient is coconut oil, and since coconuts taste nothing like butter, of course, this doesn’t either. It’s sweet like coconuts, but again, not like butter. If it doesn’t taste like butter, why call it butter? Anyway, this was a dealbreaker for me.

    I had bought this a few months ago for the vegan in the group, and then used up most of it myself since we had it and I really couldn’t tell the difference. The problem was that towards the end of the bar it started tasting a little rancid. I just bought another bar as my cardiologist told me I should go vegan. I’m having it on my bagel now after scraping off the nasty tasting Myokos cream cheese that I also just tried. The butter is fresh and the sea salt gives it that extra that it needs.
