Flavoured butters can add pizzazz to any dish, whether you’re savouring it atop some simple toast or basting some delicious steak with it. The flavours are intriguing too, going beyond what you’d expect, like garlic and sea salt, mala or sambal belacan butter!

Interested in hopping on the flavoured butter frenzy? We’ve sourced five online stores that you can buy them from.

Alternatively, if you’re a budding kitchen enthusiast, why not try your hand at making them yourself? It's surprisingly easy — essentially, you just need the ingredients, a food processor and you’re good to go.

But we’re not leaving you in the lurch! Read till the end for some DIY flavoured butter inspo.

Borderless Butter

1/6

Looking for unique butter flavours? Borderless Butter’s got you covered with their extensive selection of both sweet and savoury butters. 

For those looking to add a hint of spice to their meal, opt for flavours like Chika Cajun, Roasted Jalapeno, and a local favourite, XO Mala butter. If you’re craving something sweet, flavours like Honey Cinnamon, Whipped Earl Grey, and Brown Sugar Cinnamon will satisfy your sweet tooth. 

The local brand also has recipes if you need inspo on how to spice up your meals with their keto-friendly butters.

Meraki Butters

2/6

Another local brand with mouthwatering Asian-inspired flavours, Meraki Butter is your go-to if you like creamy salted egg with curry leaves and numbing Sze Chuan mala. For something that deviates from the usual flavours, you can give the seasonal stout caramel butter a go.

Sudu.sg

3/6

Sudu by iLya is known for offering private dining experiences where guests get to nibble on fine modern Malay cuisine. Luckily for us, they’ve bottled up some of these exquisite flavours in the form of compound butters for everyone to enjoy at home. 

Choose from three unique, Asian-inspired umami butter options like Belacan Butter, Smoked Sambal Butter, and Kulim Butter.

They release their butters fortnightly, on the first and 15th of each month, so do keep a lookout and work those fingers quickly, as their butters often sell out within hours.

Butter Days

4/6

Another source for Asian-inspired flavours, Butter Days marries local taste with high-quality cultured European butter for perfect depth and complexity. 

With innovative and funky flavours like kimchi, ube, mint chutney, and cacio e pepe amongst others, there’s no shortage of flavours and ways to infuse delight into each meal.

Each butter comes in a 100g block, priced at $12 each.

Châteaux

5/6

Besides specialising in artisanal kombucha, Châteaux also has a variety of gourmet butters on offer, which are made with pure New Zealand butter and no preservatives.

Nibble on Asian classics like The Yolk, an umami-packed salted egg yolk flavour, and spicy Nonya Laksa. Or try other savoury flavours like Classic Bacon, Garlic & Herb, and Truffle.

Can’t get enough of their butters? They even have a subscription service where you can save 10% on each tin of butter, with a delivery every four weeks.

6/6

Thomas is famous on TikTok for his All Things Butter series where he experiments with the wildest butter flavours you wouldn’t think of, such as chocolate, coffee and salted caramel butter, bloody Mary butter, bone marrow butter… the list goes on.

His videos showcase him making the butters, although no recipe is spelled out. But you’re making the butter for yourself after all, so freely adjust how much of each ingredient you’d like to add to your butter — just do as you please!
