Kathryn & Jeremiah of Spurzile’s Gourmet Butter

As a nurse, Kathryn shares her perspective on how “real” food and healthy animal fats can be a better alternative to highly processed oils and preservatives.

In this episode of “I Am Lakeland,” host Don Burns is joined by Jeremiah and Kathryn Lewis, the duo behind Spurzile’s Gourmet Butter. They share the unique story of how a late-night craving for a “better” grilled cheese sandwich accidentally launched a thriving local business.

Jeremiah and Kathryn explain the meaning behind the name “Spurzile”—a combination of family names that represents the intertwining of their Greek and Haitian roots. What began as a personal quest for flavor has evolved into a mission to bring all-natural, preservative-free gourmet butters and artisanal cookies to the Lakeland community.

Whether you’re a foodie looking to take your home cooking to “Flavor Town” or a supporter of local startups, Jeremiah and Kathryn’s story is a delicious example of Lakeland’s entrepreneurial spirit.
