Why Lewis Road Creamery Premium Specialty Butters Are Different

Discover why Lewis Road Creamery Premium Specialty Butters are crafted differently, and why their rich, naturally cultured flavour has made them a favourite among chefs, bakers and food lovers across New Zealand.

New Zealand is renowned for producing some of the world's finest grass-fed butter. Thanks to lush pastures, fresh air and generations of dairy expertise, New Zealand butter is celebrated for its naturally rich taste, beautiful golden colour and exceptional quality.

At Lewis Road Creamery, we're proud of that heritage.

It Starts with Great New Zealand Grass-Fed Cream

Every exceptional butter begins with exceptional cream. Our Premium Specialty Butters are made using 100% New Zealand grass-fed cream from cows that graze naturally on New Zealand's lush pastures.

Grass-fed dairy gives our butter the fresh, creamy flavour, and smooth texture that New Zealand butter is known for around the world.

We believe great ingredients are the foundation of great butter, but they're only the beginning.

Crafted to Create the Perfect Balance of Flavour

What truly sets Lewis Road Creamery Premium Butters apart is the way we craft their flavour.

Inspired by traditional European-style butter making, we carefully blend our naturally cultured flavour butter to create a richer, more rounded flavour profile. Our naturally cultured flavour contributes delicate tangy notes and deeper buttery richness, while fresh cream delivers clean, creamy sweetness. Together, they create a perfectly balanced butter that is rich without being overpowering, offering complexity while remaining beautifully smooth and approachable.

This careful blending gives our premium specialty butter its signature, balanced cultured flavour profile, exceptional creaminess and remarkable depth of flavour.

It's craftsmanship you can taste in every bite.

A Premium Specialty Butter for Every Kitchen

Every butter in the Lewis Road Creamery Premium Butter range has been thoughtfully crafted with a purpose, making it easy to choose the perfect butter for every occasion.

Lightly Salted Butter

Our Lightly Salted Butter is where our signature flavour truly shines. Made with our naturally cultured flavour blend and lightly seasoned, it delivers the perfect the balance of creamy richness and subtle savoury notes. The Lower salt level allows the naturally butter flavour to take centre stage, making it ideal for spreading, cooking and everyday enjoyment.

Our Sea Salt Crystal Butter takes indulgence to another level. Premium French Guérande sea salt crystals are folded through our naturally cultured flavour butter, creating delicate bursts of salt that contrast beautifully with the smooth, creamy texture. Every bite delivers layers of flavour, making it perfect on fresh bread, crackers, roasted vegetables or grilled meats.
