Butter boards, topped with vibrant, delicious delights are sweeping the nation. If you haven't already seen this trend on TikTok - a butter board is all about fresh butter being spread onto a board, before being decorated with an assortment of toppings, served with bread for dipping. These sharing platters are perfect for gatherings and a novel way of serving bread.

As butter is the star of the show, it's worth sourcing the good stuff. Trewithen Dairy's Salted Butter is luxuriously smooth textured with a silky richness. It's the high butterfat content in the Cornish cream that gives it such an exceptional mouthfeel and transforms a hunk of bread into something very special indeed.

Trewithen's butter is enhanced further with the addition of Cornish Sea Salt, which is hand-harvested from the ocean waters west of the Tamar. The salt's unique, concentrated flavour enhances anything it is paired with. It is this rich, complexity of flavour that brings Trewithen Dairy butter to life.

How to make a butter board

1. Soften a block of butter so it is spreadable but still firm
2. Take your favourite wooden board or sharing platter and spread the butter onto the board
3. Using a spoon, create ripples and grooves in the butter to fill with your toppings
4. Top with an assortment of delicious delights
5. Serve with a cut-up french loaf for dipping

About Trewithen Dairy:

Trewithen Dairy is owned and run by the Clarke family, who have owned Greymare Farm in the Glynn Valley since 1976 and started crafting dairy products there in March 1994. As the business has grown, so has their family. It's not just the Clarke family that do all they can to make their delicious Cornish dairy products what they are, it's their colleagues, farmers and of course, customers too.

In the early days, the Clarkes had their own herd. Bill and Rachel would bottle the milk once the children were in bed and deliver it early the next morning. They cooked the clotted cream themselves, in open trays and potted it by hand. Their customers loved all of this Cornish dairy goodness and soon the Clarkes were supplying more and more happy customers. By 2001, the milk bottling and cream making side of the business had become so successful that the family made the brave decision to sell their herd and moved full time into producing milk, cream, butter and, more recently, yoghurt. Bill and Rachel's sons Francis and George now run the dairy day to day with key roles as Managing Director and Production Director respectively, with more than 250 highly valued employees and plenty of continued input from Bill and Rachel.
