Dairy Farmers of America, Inc. (DFA) has introduced an organic whipped butter manufactured by Keller’s Creamery, a division of DFA. Label under the name Breakstone’s®, the new product will be available at 21 grocery store chains in seven states east of the Mississippi – Alabama, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

DFA introduced the new product in response to the rising interest in organic foods. According to market research, organic butter sales increased 26 percent last year alone and have increased by more than 200 percent since 2003.

Breakstone’s organic whipped butter also is kosher certified. Kosher food is prepared according to Jewish dietary laws. Certification agencies examine the ingredients used to make the food, supervise the process by which the food is prepared, and periodically inspect the processing facilities to make sure that kosher standards are maintained.
