Collection: Banner Butter

Forbes' Best Butter 2024, Handcrafted in Small Batches in Atlanta, Georgia

In 2012, Drew and Elizabeth McBath set out to make butter the way it hadn't been made in over a century - slowly, simply, and without shortcuts. Armed with 19th century dairy journals and a small mixer, they built Banner Butter from a few Atlanta farmers' market tables into one of the most recognized small-batch butter makers in the country, earning recognition from Forbes, Elle, and Atlanta & Co. along the way - and a spot in Delta Air Lines' first-class cabin. 

The difference starts with the cream. While industrial butters are made with unripened cream and added "natural" flavoring, Banner Butter uses patiently-cultured cream from hormone-free, grass-fed cows - then churns it in a small-batch process that takes up to 20 times longer than mass-production methods. No artificial flavoring. No additives. Just butter that tastes the way butter is supposed to taste.

The result is a lineup of artisan compound butters worth keeping in permanent rotation. The Smoked Sea Salt brings cold-smoked hickory depth to grilled fish, oysters, and steak. Roasted Garlic, Basil, and Parsley starts with slowly roasted whole garlic bulbs for a savory richness that transforms everything from pasta to a simple piece of bread. Cinnamon, Cardamom, and Ginger adds warmth to biscuits and sweet potatoes. Seasonal varieties like Honey Habanero and Red Pepper Mash - made with fermented Fresno peppers - round out a collection built for cooks who notice the difference.

Build your own custom 3-pack or 6-pack from the full flavor lineup. It's the Southern food gift that keeps showing up on the table - or a standing order your kitchen won't survive without.
