Wee Knob of Butter Scottish Sea Salt 200g
The everyday hero

Scottish Sea Salt

Great Taste 1★ 2026 · Scotland’s Best Dairy Product Finalist 2025

Rich, creamy and seasoned with Blackthorn salt. If it needs butter, it needs this one.

  • Proper toast – spread it thick on warm sourdough, straight up.
  • Silky scrambled eggs – start with a knob in a cold pan, low heat, and stir another in right at the end.
  • Basting steak or scallops – for the last minute in the pan, tilt it and spoon the foaming butter over the top.
  • Mash and new potatoes – beat a generous knob through mash, or toss through hot new potatoes with chives.
  • Baking – use it anywhere a recipe asks for salted butter. Shortbread and scones love it.

Garlic & Herb

Great Taste 2★ 2023

Real garlic and a handful of herbs, already done for you. Our award winner and a chef favourite.

  • Garlic bread in 10 minutes – split a baguette, spread generously and bake at 200°C until golden.
  • Juicy roast chicken – push slices under the skin before it goes in the oven. It bastes the bird as it cooks.
  • Garlic prawns or mushrooms – sizzle in a hot pan and pile onto toast with a squeeze of lemon.
  • Jacket potatoes and greens – a knob on top does all the work.
  • Steak night – slice onto a resting steak and let it melt into the juices.

Sweet sun-dried tomato and fresh basil. A sauce in a slice.

  • 5-minute pasta – stir a knob through hot spaghetti with a splash of pasta water, then finish with parmesan.
  • Pan-fried fish – cook cod or salmon in it, then spoon the melted butter over to serve.
  • Roasted veg – toss through courgettes, peppers or new potatoes as they come out of the oven.
  • Next-level toasties – butter the outside of the bread before it hits the pan.
  • Corn on the cob – melt it over hot corn. Barbecue sorted.

Glenheather Honey & Cinnamon

Scottish heather honey with a gentle warmth of cinnamon. Breakfast will never be the same.

  • Toast, crumpets and pancakes – spread it on while they’re piping hot so it melts in.
  • French toast – fry your eggy bread in it, then add another knob on top.
  • Porridge – stir a spoonful through just before serving.
  • Honey-glazed carrots and parsnips – toss through roasting veg for the last 10 minutes.
  • Baking – use in scones, cinnamon buns or banana bread for an extra layer of flavour.
