Mango Compound Butter
Compound butter is butter that is softened, whipped with other flavoring ingredients, and then chilled to harden and use. The concept basically created flavored butter, and the possibilities and flavor combinations are endless.
Our mango compound butter is super versatile and can be made for sweet or savory. For the savory, we utilize citrus zest, some fresh chilies and garlic, as well as some lime juice and, of course, mangoes, in the form of mango purée, which adds to a luxuriously smooth, super melty texture. For the sweet, we highlight honey, citrus zest and flowers.
Use the savory version on fresh seafood, rice or grilled vegetables, while the sweet version is excellent on breads and fruits; either one is perfect on any creative idea that serves you.
