Notes

  1. Mixed herbs in the Provencale butter are: rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage.
  2. The caloric calculation is based on all butters together. If you're interested in the caloric value of these butters, I would suggest to just take the butter into your calculation. The additional ingredients are small and will not make a significant contribution.
    • Each compound butter is made from 4 oz. of unsalted butter = approx. 100 calories and 11.5 grams of fat.
  3. If you prefer salted butter, just add your preferred amount.
