In case you missed it, SmallBatch Vancouver has been so kind to do an article on us. Abby Wiseman from SmallBatch Vancouver also took the amazing photo of the chanterelle mushrooms with our Brown Butter Cubes above. Check out her article below!

Hunter Browns Brown Butter Is New On The Shelf

Ever wondered what the secret is to chef-style dishes? More often than not, it's about the butter. Browning butter is a common technique used by chefs to add an extra layer of flavour in even the most mundane dishes, but it's a technique often overlooked in home cooking.

We were also happy to make it Vancouver Magazine's Gift Guide for Foodies this past holidays. We've noticed a lot of customers buy our product to give to the foodies in their life and we are so flattered to be seen as worthy of a gift!

Nothing says "I love you" like a thoughtfully chosen condiment. This product won a Made in Vancouver Award this year and at the time we said this: There's a special rung high on the ladder for creators who produce something that heretofore you never knew you needed. Case in point: brown butter cubes.

DID YOU KNOW?


Our Brown Butter Cubes are strategically designed to work with the cook. For instance, when cooking over a stovetop, it is meant to be melted with the speckle-side up so as not to sear the milk solids. This also controls the amount of browning desired, allowing it to be cooked further into black butter (beurre noir), which is the dark mahogany in colour and has a more earthy, coffee-like complexity that verges on bitterness.
