The Buttermilk Company
Instant, fresh ethnic food that tastes homemade
We make packets filled with fresh, authentic ingredients for ethnic recipes curated from local communities. Customers can prepare a homemade meal in 5 minutes without preservatives. Our goal is to bring real ethnic flavors to American consumers, maintaining the authenticity and simplicity of family recipes from diverse cultures.
We are based in Seattle, WA and would remain based here after YC.
Seattle is where our network and community sources for authentic recipes are strongest, and where we can best manage our supply chain and small-team operations.
