Butter earns its place beside the stove and on the breakfast table. Minerva Dairy makes butter and cheese, including a sea salt butter for everyday cooking.

The creamery traces its beginnings to Max Radloff in 1894. It later consolidated in Minerva, Ohio, and makes its butter in small batches with slow churning.

Spread some on bread or let a pat melt over warm vegetables. For baking, choose salted or unsalted butter according to what your recipe calls for.
