Buy Butter, AMF and Butter Oil Wholesale
A buyer's guide to purchasing block butter, anhydrous milk fat (AMF) and butter oil wholesale from Europe — formats, handling and pricing.
18 June 2026 5 min read
Bakeries, ice-cream and confectionery makers and recombined-dairy plants buy dairy fat in three main forms: block butter, anhydrous milk fat (AMF) and butter oil. Choosing the right one — and handling it correctly — keeps your landed cost and quality in check.
Which form to buy
- Block butter (~82% fat) — retail and foodservice
- AMF (~99.9% fat) — stable, water-free, ships well to warm climates
- Butter oil — fractionated fat for specific applications
Handling and temperature
Block butter is usually moved frozen and may need reefer transport, while AMF in 200 kg drums tolerates ambient handling far better — a common choice for importers in hot climates. Confirm reefer needs at enquiry stage so the load plan and quotation are accurate.
Pricing and how to buy
Dairy-fat prices move with the market and depend on form, quantity, packing and incoterm, so we quote per order rather than publish a fixed price. Send your product, quantity and destination port for an FOB Rotterdam / Antwerp or CIF offer with specification and COA.
Key takeaways
- Block butter for retail; AMF for stability in warm climates
- Confirm reefer needs for block butter
- AMF in 200 kg drums suits hot-climate importers
- We quote FOB / CIF per order with COA
