Paula Deen, the first lady of fatty foods has embarked on a new venture. Her line of flavored butters launched this week, and will be sold at Walgreen’s and Walmart stores across the country.
It’s only fitting that Ms. Deen would offer designer butter as one of her early forays into the packaged food market.
The butters come in a variety of flavors and are meant to add the finishing touch to cooking, or to be spread on baked goods.
Deen says of her Sweet Citrus Zest butter:
“My Sweet Citrus Zest butter is hard to practice in moderation – it’s so good on a biscuit or cornbread and it’s the perfect butter to have in the morning – it feels so fresh and clean on your palette.”
She also offers Garden Herb, Lemon Dill, European Style with Sea Salt, and something called “Southern Grillin’.”
Deen has been touting using butter at the end of the recipe to moderate butter consumption. Instead, she has been cooking with other fats, such as bacon fat and using the butter at the end to add flavor and a slick finish to meats and vegetables.
While a bit contradictory to her recent bid for healthier cooking, we have no doubt these will be a great success with her fans.
Portions of the proceeds go to The Bag Lady Foundation, which helps families in need.
That’s a good thing Y’all!
