Bifrost Butters Unveils Premium Rebrand and Announces Expected Retail Partnership with Lunds & Byerlys

Western Wisconsin artisan compound butter maker brings European-inspired compound butters to 30 Twin Cities locations.

BOYCEVILLE, WISCONSIN – Bifrost Kitchen LLC, creator of the acclaimed Bifrost Butters line, today announced the completion of a comprehensive rebrand featuring premium packaging and a refined visual identity that reflects the exceptional quality of its handcrafted compound butters. The company also revealed an exciting retail partnership with Lunds & Byerlys, bringing its products to all 30 of the premium grocer's Twin Cities locations.

The rebrand represents a significant milestone for the small-batch food manufacturer, which operates from an on-farm commercial kitchen in Western Wisconsin, just one hour from the Twin Cities. The new look distinguishes Bifrost Butters from competitors in an increasingly popular specialty food category, while maintaining the artisanal quality that has made the brand a favorite among steakhouses, supper clubs and fine-food retail shops.

"We are incredibly proud and honored that a quality retailer like Lunds & Byerlys believes our products meet their high standards for premium specialty foods," said Meg Wittenmyer, co-founder of Bifrost Kitchen. "For a small company like ours, this partnership represents a tremendous opportunity to share our European-inspired recipes with home cooks throughout the Twin Cities area. It is a validation of the craftsmanship and quality we put into every batch."

The compound butter market is experiencing robust growth nationwide. The global compound butter market reached $1.45 billion in 2024, driven by rising demand for gourmet and artisanal foods, evolving consumer preferences for unique flavors, and the growing trend of home cooking [Growth Market Reports]. The Global Flavored Butter Market was valued at USD 1.7 Billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 8.77 Billion by 2032, fueled by rising health and wellness consciousness [Market Research Future].

What sets Bifrost Butters apart are the European-inspired recipes developed by co-founder Chef Joel Wittenmyer, many of which came from his Master Chef mentors. These carefully guarded formulas have been passed down through generations of chefs and used in some of the world's finest restaurants.

The company's flagship products, Café de Paris Steak Butter and Bourgogne Garlic Herb Butter, are far more sophisticated than typical herb-and-spice blends. The proprietary recipes are engineered to transform each slice into a rich, caramelized butter sauce that elevates any dish to restaurant quality, making them ideal as add-ons for proteins or as ingredients in original dishes.

The new packaging and visual identity better communicate the premium positioning and artisanal nature of Bifrost Butters, helping the brand stand out on retail shelves while maintaining the authentic, handcrafted character that has defined the company since its inception.

Bifrost Butters will be available at all 30 Lunds & Byerlys locations. The Minnesota-based, family-owned grocer is known throughout the region for its commitment to extraordinary food, exceptional service, and curated selection of premium specialty products.
