Every professional and home chef knows what a difference butter, herbs, spices and seasonings can make to the preparation of any delicious meal. But buying and preparing all those individual ingredients can be expensive and time consuming. In South Africa, entrepreneur and food lover, Vhongani Shumba, founder of mi butter, has the solution for all home cooks. She has launched her new range of flavoured, blended butters, ready to add new taste sensations to the preparation of any meal.
According to founder and ceo, Vhongani Shumba, mi butter is not your usual plain butter, its butter blended with herbs, sweet and savoury spices, extra virgin oil and roasted garlic. These butters are delicious and can be used to replace traditional butter or oil while preparing home cooked meals. The mi butter brand has created a great tasting and diverse range of flavoured butters that offers something for every palette and every culinary creation. mi butter is currently available in 10 different flavours ranging from:
Basil Parsley & Roasted Garlic
Bacon Chives & Roasted Garlic
Chili Parsley Lemon & Roasted Garlic
Cinnamon Ginger & Honey
Chives Lemon & Roasted Garlic
Rosemary Thyme & Roasted Garlic
Roasted Garlic & Black Pepper
Sea Salt & Black Pepper
Himalayan Salt & Black Pepper
Lemon & Black Pepper
Speaking about what makes mi butter different to other butters that consumers can buy in the marketplace, Vhongani says:
“mi butter is blended butter with herbs, spices, extra virgin oil, roasted garlic and other flavorings, while other butters in the market are either plain, salted or unsalted. The brands that are most similar to mi butter make salted and unsalted butter spreads but do not include extra virgin olive oil and flavours in their butter. One of the great things about our butters is that they make your meal preparation easier. The seasoning has already been done for you; it’s all in the butter so you can keep your dishes simple. We also use glass bottles that are recyclable for our products to assist in the reduction of our carbon footprint. For every empty mi butter bottle returned, our customers get R2.00 off their next purchase of mi butter.”
Customers can purchase their mi butter at the following stores in Johannesburg, South Africa: Go Mzanzi online store; The Bread Box Baker; KindCrates; and Fishermans Deli.
Commenting about what gives her the greatest satisfaction being an entrepreneur, Vhongani adds, “It’s not about the money. It’s about doing what makes you happy and doesn’t feel like work. That’s how I feel when I am blending my butters.”
