INGREDIENTS SELECTED WITH INTENTION.
COCONUT OIL:
Coconut oil is one of the healthiest foods around.
Coconut oil is made almost entirely of fatty acids, most of which are saturated fats. However, these are not your typical saturated fats. These fats are called Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs), which means they are fatty acids of medium length and are metabolized more efficiently than other fats. The coconut oil we use in our butter is organic and because of the MCTs, it contains only half the number of saturated fats as other grocery store butters.
Coconut oil is digested quickly and gives a great boost of energy. It also helps you feel full and satisfied longer. Some studies show - counter to what you may have heard about fatty foods - that coconut oil is good for the heart and naturally lowers bad cholesterol.
We use virgin, refined and naturally filtered coconut oil which is neutral in taste and doesn't get in the way of Chattanooga Butter's incredible flavor.
SATURATED FATS:
Saturated fats have a bad reputation, but they are vital to a well-rounded, healthy diet. When consumed in moderation, they can help you lose weight. Depending on how the food source was fed (i.e. grass-fed cows), saturated fats from dairy products can be quite rich with vitamins and minerals.
Our cream comes from grass-fed cows, making the saturated fats pure and nutrient-rich. The coconut oil we add to our butter boosts the health benefits even further.
FARM FRESH - A DIFFERENCE YOU CAN TASTE:
We source many ingredients for our various spreads from local or neighboring state farms when possible. They are grown and harvested the old fashioned way, from nearby farms to our kitchen, to your family dinner table! Real food tastes better. It's better for you too!
