Tillamook, the renowned dairy company known for its high-quality cheese and butter, has once again revolutionized the grilled cheese game with its latest innovative product: Butternaise. This new spread is a perfect blend of rich butter and umami Kewpie mayo, designed to take your grilled cheese sandwiches to the next level.
Tillamook’s famous grilled cheese sandwich has always been made with a unique combination of both butter and mayonnaise on the outside of the bread, providing not only flavor but also the ultimate crispness. While the company has traditionally recommended a 1:1 mix of butter and mayo spread, they have now taken it a step further by creating Butternaise, a pre-made blend that eliminates the need for mixing.
According to Tillamook, only 12 percent of home cooks use mayo on their grilled cheese, with 71 percent preferring butter. However, Tillamook’s executive chef, Josh Archibald, believes that using both butter and mayo is essential to creating the perfect grilled cheese sandwich. To achieve this, Tillamook partnered with Kewpie mayo and Spiceology to develop a spread that enhances the sandwich’s flavor and texture.
The Butternaise spread is made with Tillamook’s award-winning Extra Creamy Salted Butter, Kewpie Organic Mayonnaise, and Spiceology’s Alvin Cailan Fries Szn Blend, a unique mix of sugar, onion, cayenne pepper, garlic, and paprika. The result is a creamy spread that delivers a bold flavor and ensures a perfectly browned crust every time.
Tillamook’s new Butternaise spread will be available exclusively on their website starting November 6, while supplies last. Each eight-ounce jar of spread comes with a spreader and Tillamook Medium Cheddar and Sharp Cheddar Cheese, which Chef Josh recommends using two slices of each on any grilled cheese for the ultimate flavor experience.
With the introduction of Butternaise, Tillamook has once again proven its commitment to innovation and excellence in the world of grilled cheese sandwiches. This new product is set to elevate the classic comfort food to new heights and is sure to become a kitchen staple for cheese lovers everywhere.
