Biscuits and pancakes would be delicious!
Baking season is almost here. Biscuits hot from the oven. Yum.
Love using this in baking my whole wheat bread!
A wonderful alternative if there is no liquid buttermilk on hand. Also, a little FYI, after opening, this has to be refrigerated. ( i didn’t know when i first started purchasing)
I’d love to try these products.
Is there any way to make tasty fried chicken without first soaking it in buttermilk? If so, it probably would only taste second rate. I’m already getting my apron ready to make cookies with that chocolate prize.
i want to try this
This just a wonderful way to add the zip of buttermilk!
Have never tried this product. It sounds wonderful
Makes yummy biscuits
With this product I could always have buttermilk on hand for those recipes that I want to try.
i LIKED THE BUTTERMILK AND AM CURIOUS ABT THE CHOCOLATE
Oh, MY Gosh! I use to use this all the time but have a hard time finding it now.
The cocoa is the best! I order it by the case and refuse to use Hershey’s or Nestle’s after seeing and tasting the difference. My recipe website… http://www.jenifer.luce.us
I have never used this product. I love to make buttermilk biscuts and think the product would taste wonderful.
sounds great
This product is very good and does not take up room in the refrigerator.
I already use this product and I love it. Baking has never been so easy.
I would love to try the chocolate products!
The oyster cracker snack traditionally made with ranch dressing is SO MUCH BETTER when you use SACO buttermilk and dill.
I love the Saco buttermilk and my can is almost empty. Makes great biscuits, ranch dressing, etc. Please enter me.

I always have the buttermilk blend in my fridge. I didn’t know about the other products. I’ll have to look for them.

This is so convenient to use. I have buttermilk whenever I need it.

Really enjoy using this product!!1
From someone who rarely keeps buttermilk on hand but loves to cook with it, this is the coolest thing!
I won this last month and it is a great product. One that I will always have in my home from now on.
This has become a staple at my house. I don’t get without it.

Is it gluten free?
We are also pleased to inform you that all products in the Saco Foods line are gluten free, in addition our products and facility are peanut and tree nut free.
This is a very exciting time for us at Saco Foods! We recently launched our newly updated website, and our Dolci frutta will be featured in a segment of the Balancing Act, on Lifetime television, which airs on February 4th and 25th, between 7-8:00 am, EST.
Upon completion our web site, http://www.sacofoods.com will provide a wide variety of information about our company and our products. Our recipe section will contain over 500 of recipes that have been submitted by State Fair Contest Winners, consumers and our own favorites. There is a place for consumers to submit recipes and any questions or comments. The recipe section will allow users to search for particular recipes by type or by product. Another highly anticipated update will be the addition of a store locator so consumers will be able to find our products in their areas. These updates and changes are occurring in stages and will be ongoing.
How long can Saco Buttermilk Blend be kept in the regrigerator……sealed in a glass jar??????
Are there any recipes for waffles (whole wheat, preferably) using Saco?
The shelf life of our Cultured Buttermilk Blend depends on when the container is opened and how well it is kept from any source of moisture. An unopened container or envelope of the Cultured Buttermilk Blend has an indefinite shelf life as long as it is kept free from moisture. We have recently begun coding our product with a suggested “Best if Used By Date” as a guide for consumers with concerns. However, it is only a suggestion and moisture exposure will still shorten the time.
Once opened, it should be stored in the refrigerator. There it can last for several years. You will always be the best judge by simply looking at the product. If it is still in a powder form, it is good to use. If there are lumps that break up into powder, they are fine to use as well. If there are lumps that do not break up when touched, they should be sifted out. If the entire canister has hardened, some people have had success with using a food processor to pulverize the product back into a powder form. It would never be harmful or unsafe to use however; we do not guarantee the product will work as well as if it had not been hardened.
Our website currently has over 400 recipes using products from our line. I am sure you will find a waffle recipe that you will enjoy. Be sure to check out the Whole Wheat Quick Mix recipe, too!
Thanks for the quick response on the shelf life of the Cultured Buttermilk Blend. I have some that’s been in the refrigerator over a year and is still good. I found the recipe for the Whole Wheat Quick Mix for Waffles and will be trying it soon.
Have been using the buttermilk for many many years and love the convenience of having this on hand whenever a recipe calls for it. Do not keep fresh buttermilk on hand as noone in the house cares for it
I keep a can of this in my pantry at all times. I can’t live without it!!
I haven’t used this product for a while simply because between the time I see it used in a recipe and then later see my shopping list, I’ve forgotten that I want to add it.
Love the buttermilk and would like to try the chocolate!
I was very lucky to win from this site last month two containers of the buttermilk and a canister of the cocoa I was so happy to try it out First thing I made was biscuits they were fantastic! and then I made brownies YUM thank you so much I love having the buttermilk like this ,the stuff from the dairy case anymore is outragious like everything else these days thanks again!
Thank you!!! I was one of your winner and received the package with 2 containers of Buttermilk and 1 container of Cocoa Powder and a Apron. Since I had not read my email for a few days, it surprised me when I seen UPS stopping in front of my house since I wasn’t expecting anything. I have used your Buttermilk and had it on my list to pick up another container when I went shopping again. It was nice to also get all the recipes in the box. I have since tried the waffle recipe (my grandchildren love it, I have now had to make them waffles every morning for the last week). I will never buy another box of instant pancake or waffle mix again. I will be trying some of the other recipes soon. Again, thank you!!!!
I have a use for these great products so hope to win.
All these products seems like something I could use and like.
this makes it incredibly easy and affordable to make all those ‘hey… I’m in the mood for…’recipes…
would love to win this and try it out
Sweet! Would be great for cooking and baking!
I have used Saco Buttermilk all my cooking life and it is a staple like milk in my fridge..how old is Saco Buttermilk?
I have a pound cake that I love, but don’t make it that often because I never want to buy the carton of buttermilk which seems to go to waste after using a cup. This would be perfect.
Thank you so much!! I won the Cultured Buttermilk!! IT MAKES THE BEST PANCAKES EVER!!! AWESOME
I LOVE CHOCOLATE…When I feel a little down I have something chocolate..Who doesnt Love anything CHOCOLATE..
I use the buttermilk for corn bread and it makes for a soft tender bite. Hope to win some chocolate chunks also, I could bake some bars.
Saco makes cocoa!! I’ll be looking for that on my next trip to the store, even though it’s 110 degrees here.
good for recipes when fresh buttermilk isn’t available
I can’t wait to use this buttermilk in recipes!
Thanks again for the prize! I have used the buttermilk powder in home baked breads and it’s great.
I received the buttermilk, cocoa, apron and recipes. I made the Applesauce Buttermilk Bars and it was delicious!

Thanks so much for the prizes sent to me! My husband is waiting anxiously for his buttermilk biscuits! I can’t wait to try the cocoa & my husband thinks I have needed an apron like that for years! I have & I love the adjustable neck strap. Thank You!!!
I always keep a package in the fridge, for some reason there’s not much fresh buttermilk around this part of ct.this I can add to the flour in my favorite sourdough bread for a little extra bite. Great in bisquits or as an overnight soak for my chicken
sounds good!
Just bought this yesterday. Need to keep in my pantry for homemade ranch dressing, fried chicken, biscuits.
Holiday baking is just around the corner and these are the perfect ingredients for that!
I’m very excited that I’ve won the Cultered Buttermilk Blend and the Premium Cocoa. I can’t wait to do some baking with those.
Thank you so much.
Thank you very much for the fabulous prize package. I’ve used and loved your products for many years and was glad to receive this in time for more holiday baking. I’m also very proud to be wearing my new “Bake Your Best with Saco” apron–I love it!
Have been unfortunately unable to get fresh buttermilk here in CT as often as I would like, however I always keep a container of the dehydrated buttermilk it reconstitution to very acceptable Buttermilk substitute, flavor is as good and more consistent the bottled.
I recieved the canisters of powdered buttermilk and the premium Cocoa that I recently won.
The first thing I made was cocoa. Absolutely delicious.
After that I made buttermilk pancakes; the best pancakes that I’ve had in so long. This is what pancakes should taste like.
Then my husband made some buttermilk biscuits and they were also delicious.
I’m very grateful to have won and been given the opportunity to try these wonderful products.
Oh my mouth is watering, I have never used this product. I will search for it.
Thank you for the wonderful prize. I finally tried the powdered buttermilk. I used the recipe for “Blue Ribbon Waffles” from the Saco site and they were the best waffles I ever made. I have been using Saco cocoa powder for years. I love to drink mochas, so I use the cocoa to make my own chocolate syrup. It tastes so much better than store bought syrups and I don’t have to worry about high fructose corn syrup or other questionable ingredients.
Fabulous prize package. I can’t wait to use these products.
Great pantry items, on my must have list.
I would love to try this!
Premixed the buttermilk with my flour ,leavening and salt and make my own pancake flour mix.Much cheaper than purchased mix and I can use whole grain flours.
I was so surprized to win the Saco buttermilk and cocoa. I am having fun making some of the recipes. The biscuits are fantastic! Thank you so much for a great product.
Buttermilk biscuits and sausage gravy! Doesn’t get much better than that.
I received 2 containers of the Buttermilk blend and 1 of the Dutch chocolate on Christmas Eve and the timing could not have been better. I had people visiting that love to cook and we had pancakes the morning after Christmas made with your low fat low cholestrol buttermilk blend. Everyone enjoyed breakfast so much. A couple of days later my daughter made Dutch chocolate cookies that must have been very delicious because they were all gone when I got home that evening. There are so many uses for this product that I had not realized until we started using it.
This sounds great!
I tried a new recipe today that called for buttermilk. I used Saco Cultured Buttermilk Blend and, not only was it easy to use, the cake was delicious! Thank you again.
Awesome products!
Made buttermilk pecan waffles this past weekend with my prize! They came out so good and yummy. Can’t wait to try biscuits. Thank you!!!
Always keep on hand…somehow buttermilk in Connecticut just dosn’t cut it.
I won the “Bite Of the Best” contest (in December) and we enjoyed it so much that I ordered 3 more containers of the buttermilk blend. I got my order today. I have used it in many recipes and love it.
Saco Cultured Buttermilk is a great product with so many uses. Any product that you can have on hand that is the basis for so many recipies, is well worth it. The more products I can have that keep on the shelf, in the fridge, freezer or canned, the better I feel. Living on disability and in the economy we’re in, definitely encourages me to use products that are healthy, versatile and long lasting. To Gramonfarm, this product can be found at Hannafords and I think Price Chopper too.

I won the Saco giveaway, and just tried the cocoa powder in some hot chocolate. It’s delicious, deep and round! The problem is, I can’t find it in NC. Amazon sells it, but only in large amounts, ie, 12 canisters! Is there any other online source where I can buy it in smaller quantities?
Was thrilled to receive these wonderful products. I haven’t tried the cocoa yet but since I usually mix different types of cocoa for baking that it will be great.
Use this in my cookies.
Thank you very much. This is awesome.
I never not have a box of the buttermilk on hand, finding local fresh buttermilk is a nightmare in CT shoreline, and when you do find it it goes bad before you can use it all. This stuff is a life saver, use straight up with water as buttermilk, add some of the powder in place of dry white milk powder for a fine crumb and extra flavor in sourdough bread recipes, even adds umph to Bisquick for dumplings.
I opened a container of Saco Cultured Buttermilk a couple of months ago. I failed to refrigerate the product. Is the product ok to use?
I just received my prize and can’t tell ypu how excited I am . Thank you so much. The buttermilk is great for making banana bread.
I would love to win this prize!
I have many recipes in which I use buttermilk, I look forward to trying this product out.
I received my prize today of the SACO Buttermilk Blend and the SACO premium Baking Cocoa. I will be trying recipes starting tomorrow. Can’t wait to try the crepes and the Chocolate Buttermilk Cake. Will let ya’ll know how they turn out.
I have a canister of buttermilk on hand and use it often, For instance I baked coffeecake yesterday and am marinating chicken in it for dinner tonight.
hi, iwon!!!! i won 2 canisters of the buttermilk and 1 of the cocoa. I made biscuits with the recipes that came with it and wow,so soft and delicious.can’t wait to try more of the recipes..thanks for offering great prizes and letting the people know about your products. thanks,thanks,and thanks.
Diabetic <- make most things whole grain, mix buttermilk powder, with unbleached white whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda and a little salt. When ready just add your egg, milk and flavorings (sugar or berrys, pecans etc)
great stuff!
I just received my prize of SACO Buttermilk and Cocoa. How nice to also have received a set of measuring spoons and measuring cups, a great unexpected extra. Also a set of recipes came…thanks so much
LD Wernet
Would love to try it in my cookie recipes.
Thank you for the prize. I received the SACO Buttermilk and Premium Cocoa. Also a Saco foods potholder, a big wooden spoon, along with lots of recipes. I heard that the potholder and wooden spoon are newly created promotional items and they are great additions. I immediately used the recipe given on the cannister and made brownies and they are delicious. Next up pancakes.
Thank you so much for the great prize. We use buttermilk in cooking so this was great. We;ve made the pancakes-they were delicious and next up is the buttermilk chocolate cake. Along with the buttermilk and cocoa mix I received a great group of recipes, a neat all in one measuring spoon and a set of measuring cups. Hadn’t expected those but certainly appreciate them- never have too many. Again, thank you so much for the great prize
I love this…it is so conveint to have on hand. Love how I can use it with my Angel Biscuit recipe…love how they turn out!
Great prize!
I use SACO Buttermilk when I make my yummie muffins.
I’ve used this and it is wonderful, I can make buttermilk pancakes and not worry about it going bad.
just what I need to make my Christmas cookies
Would love to win this prize.
Thank you for the win. I have several friends who love to bake and I will share my good fortune with them. Powdered buttermild is a great idea.
I won a Saco contest. I’ve used the Buttermilk for years; it makes the BEST pancakes. I will be using the coco powder this month with my Christmas baking. Thank You for such Quality Products.

So sorry oui309 — but the first of our contest rules states:
“Each contest is open to the registered users of BOTB, excluding previous winners of the sponsor’s contest on BOTB. In other words, you may not win a sponsor’s contest more than once.”
I was so surprised to win this package! The wooden spoon is thick and good quality. The hot pad works great on even baking pans at 450 F. I used the cultured buttermilk to make biscuits and they were pretty good considering it was my first time making biscuits. Can’t wait to try pancakes this weekend! Thanks again!
Pancakes are great with this product!Yum!
For ice cream
This is the kind of product I need to put a smile on my face for the New Year! drmrs 1/10/2013 P.S.-Perhaps I can put a smile on the face of others also, if I ever learn how to cook properly!
I love your products. I use them in baking and salad dressings all the time. Thanks again for making me a winner. These products are time savers they are quick easy and affordable and unlike real buttermilk dont spoil in the frig in a matter of days. So they save money!
I do not remember receiving any prize

Thanks for a great contest BiteOfTheBest!
Received my SACO prize package and am excited about using the excellent buttermilk powder in my recipes. The cocoa looks great too and I am excited about using that as well! I really love the smooth high quality cooking spoon and of course the pot holder will come in handy. Thanks for a great line of products and a great giveaway!
Oh! i was so happy to win the Buttermilk and Cocoa powders. I use the buttermilk quite a bit in my baking and was down to the bottom of the container – perfect timing. I have never used the cocoa powder – but have plans on using this weekend to make brownies. Also received a wonder wooden spoon which is almost to pretty to use. The pot holder has come in handy already. Thanks for the great give away!!!
