Systems and methods of packaging butter sticks involve extruding butter from an extruder, where the extruded butter has a temperature of at least about 50 F. and defined dimensions; cutting the extruded butter into sticks; cooling the butter sticks in a cooling environment such that a temperature of a core of the butter sticks drops by about 2 F. to about 10 F. and an exterior temperature of the butter sticks drops by about 45 F. to about 100 F.; and wrapping the cooled butter sticks in a wrapping assembly, where a transition time between exiting the cooling environment and entering the wrapping assembly is less than one minute such that a temperature of the cooled butter sticks equilibrates during wrapping.

A cream spread includes a blade including a sharp edge, a flat side surface, and a first cavity, said blade having a plurality of through-holes on the side surface connected to the first cavity, and an opening at one end; a handle detachably connected to the blade at the side surface, the handle including an internal a second cavity, and a first opening and a second opening, each of which is connecting to the second cavity, wherein the handle is formed of elastic material; and a dropper including a first region to be inserted into the blade, and a second region to be disposed within the handle, wherein the first region protrudes from the first opening of the handle when installed in the handle.

A food slicer assembly includes a housing defining a first opening and a second opening perpendicularly arranged. A slicing blade received at the second opening enters the first opening of the housing. A coupling releasably couples a food product or a food product packaging to the housing. The first opening receives a food product therethrough, the second opening receives the slicing blade therethrough, and the slicing blade slices the food product arranged in the first opening such that the food product is divided into multiple portions using the food slicer assembly. The slicing blade may pass into the first opening from a first end, and upon reaching the second end, the slicing blade seals the food slicer assembly at the first opening. The assembly may be a cheese slicer assembly for slicing a block of cheese so that a slice of cheese can be removed from the first opening.
