Saco Cultured Buttermilk Blend is made from real buttermilk, fresh from the dairy. This powdered buttermilk gives your baked goods a wonderful light and tender touch, only achieved by using real buttermilk. It combines convenience with nutrition by providing a shelf-stable product that is virtually fat and cholesterol free.
SACO real semi-sweet Chocolate CHUNKS are wonderful chunks of chocolate, versus the little chips. The CHUNKS are real chocolate, unlike many of the chips out there today, and the shape provides for more even distribution in your baked good, so there’s a bit of chocolate in every bite!

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!
