Miyoko’s Vegan Butter has taken on different looks over the years, but they’ve stayed true to the European-style formula and thus far, to the buttery name. Despite extreme backlash (and even a lawsuit) from the dairy community, Miyoko won’t back down. She’s kept the word “butter” on the packaging, but made it clear that this is a vegan product, and “made from plants.”
And Miyoko continues to progress with new improvements. In the spring of 2020, she launched an Unsalted version of her European-Style Cultured Vegan Butter, and both varieties now have measurements on the wrap. They come in single one-cup blocks, and are marked for tablespoon and 1/3 cup increments.
Miyoko’s Vegan Butter Measures Up with Salted and Unsalted Varieties
It can be hard (read: near impossible) to find a dairy-free unsalted butter alternative. So I’m quite sure the unsalted version of Miyoko’s Vegan Butter will be very well received. And its rare that I make a “new packaging” announcement, but the measurements are a big improvement! Miyoko is truly thinking about versatility for cooking and baking with her latest buttery updates.
We have sampled Miyoko’s Vegan Butter on toast, and it was positively delicious. I seriously couldn’t get enough of the creamy mouthfeel and perfectly salted flavor. It didn’t really taste “cultured,” but it did have a touch of umami that I haven’t tasted in other butter alternatives.
This is a firm, slice-able butter alternative (much like butter sticks) that’s intended for spreading, baking, and cooking. If you are looking for buttery spread, in tubs, then have a look at Miyoko’s Oatmilk Vegan Butter.

How Miyoko makes Her European-Style Cultured Vegan Butter Blocks
Miyoko shuns palm oil in her butter formulation, but she uses a base of coconut oil and sunflower oil with just a touch of cashew cream. It’s fermented with live and active cultures and churned to achieve a taste and consistency that’s similar to European-Style butter.
