Humble Roots. Buji Flavor. Buji Brown Butter transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. Founded by seasoned food entrepreneur Lisa Herlinger, Buji is the result of a "happy accident" turned gourmet revolution.

We’ve taken the butter you love and perfected it. Starting with nutrient-dense, grass-fed butter for a vibrant natural color, we use traditional browning methods to unlock a flavor profile that will, quite frankly, blow your mind.

"I love taking a beloved  kitchen staple and making it a little bit 'fancy,'" says Lisa. "Buji is for the home cook who wants to feel a little  luxurious without the fuss. It’s the secret ingredient you’ve been waiting for."

Buji Brown Buji is also the shortcut to a professional finish. It provides the perfect nutty base for cookies and pastries while also adding a sophisticated depth for finishing savory meats and vegetables. Experience a smooth texture and an aroma so rich it defines the dish. Once you’ve tasted the Buji difference, you’ll never go back to basic butter again.

Buji Brown Butter is for:

  • Chefs looking to elevate savory dishes with a sophisticated touch minus the extra time.
  • Home cooks who want to add a gourmet twist to everything from breakfast to dessert, including snacks and beverages.
  • Retailers (including specialty/gourmet markets, bakeries, cheese shops, and independent grocery)  who offer high-quality, on-trend ingredients to discerning customers.
