FAQs

What exactly am I buying?

A box of flavoured compound butter. Each box holds four individually wrapped 20g portions, 80g in total. One portion is roughly what you need for a steak, a tray of roast vegetables, a bowl of pasta or a few slices of bread.

Why portions instead of a tub?

Because you never have to guess, and nothing goes to waste. You take out one portion, use it, and the rest stays sealed in the freezer.

How do I store it?

Keep it frozen. It is best within 6 months. There is no need to defrost the whole box: take out a single portion and drop it straight onto hot food.

Do I need to defrost a portion before using it?

Not if you are cooking with it. Drop it onto a hot steak, hot corn or hot pasta and it melts on its own. If you want to spread it on bread, leave a portion out for a few minutes to soften.

What is in it?

100% natural butter with fresh herbs and real ingredients. No artificial flavours.

Are there any allergens?

All of our butters contain dairy. Pistachio Pesto contains pistachios and parmesan. Our brownies contain gluten, dairy and eggs, and the Lotus brownie also contains soy. If you have a specific allergy, please message us before you order.

Which flavour should I start with?

Garlic and Herbs is the safest first buy and works with almost anything. Chili is for grilled food, prawns and eggs. Pistachio Pesto is for pasta and bread. If you cannot decide, the Trio Box has one of each.

Can I mix flavours in a bundle?

Yes. The Weekend Box and The Full Table both let you choose your own mix, and the price is the same whichever combination you pick.

Where do you deliver and how much is it?

Across Cairo and Giza, from 85 EGP. See our shipping and delivery page for the full list of areas and fees.

Can I collect instead of paying for delivery?

Yes. Choose pickup at checkout and collect from us at Emaar Mivida.

How long do the brownies take?

They are baked to order. Order before 12:00 pm and yours ships the same day.
