Bifrost Butters Unveils Premium Rebrand and Announces Major Retail Partnership with Lunds & Byerlys
PRESS RELEASE — NEWS PROVIDED BY Meg Wittenmyer for Bifrost Butters
BOYCEVILLE, WISCONSIN (MARCH 2026) – Bifrost Kitchen LLC, creator of the Bifrost Butters line, announced the completion of a premium rebrand alongside an exciting new retail partnership with Lunds & Byerlys, bringing its handcrafted compound butters to all 28 of the grocer’s Twin Cities locations in January 2026.
The rebrand marks a major milestone for the small-batch manufacturer, which operates from an on-farm commercial kitchen in Western Wisconsin — just one hour from the Twin Cities. The refined new look distinguishes Bifrost Butters in a rapidly growing specialty food category while staying true to the authentic, handcrafted character the brand was built on.
“We are incredibly proud that a quality retailer like Lunds & Byerlys believes our products meet their high standards,” said Meg Wittenmyer, co-founder of Bifrost Kitchen. “This partnership is a validation of the craftsmanship we put into every batch. We can’t wait to help every home cook elevate a simple meal into something extraordinary.”
What sets Bifrost Butters apart are the European-inspired recipes developed by co-founder, Chef Joel Wittenmyer, many passed down from his Master Chef mentors and used in several United States high-end restaurants. The flagship products — Café de Paris Steak Butter and Bourgogne Garlic Herb Butter — go far beyond typical herb-and-spice blends. Engineered to melt into a rich, caramelized butter sauce, they transform any dish to restaurant quality. “Think of our butters as a condiment, just like mustard, ketchup, or BBQ sauce,” says Wittenmyer.
The timing couldn’t be better. The global compound butter market hit $1.45 billion in 2024, driven by a growing consumer appetite for gourmet, artisanal flavors and the continued boom in home cooking.
Lunds & Byerlys, the Minnesota-based family-owned grocer celebrated for its curated selection of premium specialty foods, is the ideal home for Bifrost Butters’ next chapter.
