This week, I am featuring Charlie’s Butter. I discovered Charlie’s Butter while reviewing food pictures on Instagram. The butter looked absolutely delicious! So, I saw we had a mutual colleague and asked for a introduction. The rest is history.. With that said, Let me introduce you to your new fridge favorite – Charlie’s Butter.
1) What’s the story behind Charlie’s Butter?
Charlie’s Butter began with Charlie’s little boy, Chase. When Chase turned one, Charlie was excited to indulge him with a new world of flavors and yummy food. Wanting to offer Chase a special, yet relatively healthy treat, Charlie whipped up a small batch of grass-fed cinnamon butter and put it on warm toast. It was love at first bite! Chase began requesting “mommy’s special cinnamon butter” on toast daily – he just couldn’t get enough! Word got out amongst Charlie’s friends and family, and soon everyone tried and fell in love with Charlie’s cinnamon butter. Surely, She was on to something amazing. After several years of hearing “why aren’t you selling this?!” and with lots of encouragement and a go-for-it attitude, Charlie finally decided to market her tasty creation. Charlie’s Butter became real but only after countless hours in the test kitchen and lots of recipe experimenting until she got it just right. The original cinnamon butter recipe has since been expanded upon, and new, exciting recipes and savory flavors have been born. Charlie is proud to use only the finest ingredients and it is her sincerest wish to share her tasty vision with people everywhere. Once you try Charlie’s, you’ll taste just how amazingly delicious butter can be!

2) What inspired you to move past the idea of Charlie’s Butter to turning your dream into a reality?
Simply put, it was the curiosity of whether or not I could create a successful business that inspired me to move beyond the dream of Charlie’s Butter to turning it dream into reality. I was totally content making the butter for my family and friends, but the “what-ifs” lingered and I had something to prove to myself so I went for it! Also, my siblings and I grew up with real butter, not margarine (or the spreadable plastic as we call it). Butter has had such as bad reputation for the last twenty years for being an unhealthy food. The truth about organically grass-fed (or pastured) products such as our butter is now coming to light. When obtaining dairy products from organically grass-fed cows the health benefits are undeniable. Our butter is nutrient dense in vitamins such as A, D, E, K, and K2, have a healthy balance of Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, and Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) which aides in fighting against heart disease. Not to mention, true grass-fed butter tastes so much better – so much more rich and creamy than the non-pastured butters! Needless to say, my passion has grown. Spreading the truth about grass-fed butter while making it that much more delicious, along with continuing along the patch of creating financial independence for our family and others, continues to drive me.
