Sometimes called "Latvia’s black caviar ", hemp-seed spread is a traditional Latvian butter. For many in Latvia, the tasty spread is an everyday condiment with meals. For others, it is a delicacy which is put on the table only on special occasions. It is also often given as a gift to put on the table when visiting friends or relatives.

Like regular butter, hemp-seed spread tastes great on bread, but is also used for other foods like potatoes, peas and cottage cheese. Furthermore, it is also very healthy because it has many important vitamins, fatty acids, amino acids and trace elements that are necessary for the human organism.
