Miyoko’s Vegan Butter has taken on different looks over the years, but they’ve stayed true to the 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.”
Miyoko’s Vegan Butter is on the Cultured Side of Plant-Based Alternatives
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.
Miyoko’s European-Style Cultured Vegan Butter Block
In 2018, Miyoko did toy with some flavored soft buttery spreads. But at this time, the vegan butter block is the only butter alternative from Miyoko’s Creamery that is available. It’s fermented with live and active cultures and churned to achieve a taste and consistency that’s similar to European-Style butter.
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), and it’s supposed to be a versatile butter alternative for baking and cooking, too. If you’ve tried it, leave your own rating and review below to share with others!

Won’t get any other kind
Truly yummy, bakes well!
Game changer
I love Miyoko’s. Cultured butter was one thing I really missed when I went vegan. Miyokos is just as good of not better than Kerrigold and other cultured butters I’ve used in the past.
Love !
Hi Alisa
I love this product, but am so so on sunflower oil. Do you know how we can tell whether it is hydrogenated or not? I presume organic doesn’t rule it out.
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
Response from Go Dairy Free
It would say hydrogenated if it was. And Miyoko’s is known for using very pure ingredients. It would be very unlikely that they would use any type of hydrogenated oil.
Lecithins
Take out the lecithin and I’ll add the 5th ⭐️
Response from Go Dairy Free
As a heads up, this is a “margarine” so it does need an emulsifier to make the water/oil combination merge and hold. Lecithin is one of the few plant-based emulsifiers available. I’m not affiliated with the company, but do have a lot of experience and knowledge in this topic!
Yum!
Best non dairy BUTTER on the market!!!
Excellent vegan butter alternative
Just tried this for the first time and I love it! I haven’t had real butter for a long time but, from what I can remember, it’s very similar in taste and texture. I wasn’t looking for another butter/margarine alternative but had a coupon for Miyoko’s so decided to try it. I will definitely be adding this into the rotation. Yum!
First time trying it and ....
ive fallen in love, melts so nice, and is perfect. my coworker brought some in, and i will definitely be purchasing it.
Better than uncultured dairy butter. Way better!
This butter is holy. Perfect in every way.
creamy and tasty
My favorite butter!
Myoko's butter
I don’t usually eat vegan “cheese” substitutes rather stay cheese/dairy free other than some goat’s cheese now and then to pacify my fancy, but this butter is really really delicious. I put it on bread or melt it to pour over roasted vegetables. Can’t really remember the taste of butter too well but I believe this comes pretty close.
