What's better on baked potato or chunk of crunchy bread? Nothing beats the creamy goodness of butter. Our store stocks a robust selection of salted butter, unsalted butter, sweet cream butter, and even clarified butter, which is also known as ghee. How do you decide which butter goes with which food item or recipe? Tom Thumb is here to help.

Salted butter is great for anything that can be enhanced by salt, such as vegetables, meat, and eggs. Use unsalted butter when baking things like pies and cookies since most of those recipes already call for salt. Clarified butter is a perfect dip for shrimp, lobster, crab, and other seafood. It's also the butter of choice for making sauces. And while technically not a butter item, sour cream still makes this list since it's a highly used ingredient in many recipes. Use sour cream for making dips, sauces, and desserts.

When searching for the best selection of butter and sour cream, your journey stops at Tom Thumb. Stop by our store today to stock up on all your favorite types of butter.
