Crystal Cream & Butter Company, a family owned and operated dairy foods manufacturing company, has been committed to supplying Northern California with the freshest highest quality dairy products since 1901. Crystal's commitment to quality starts on the dairy farm. Crystal purchases the highest quality, raw milk directly from more than 50 local family-owned dairy farms. Crystal's dairy farmers have stipulated that they do not treat their cows with the growth hormone rBST. Crystal's 500 employees use their expertise and care in producing a full line of dairy products at three Sacramento-area manufacturing facilities. Products are delivered throughout Northern California via company-owned delivery routes and a network of more than 85 Independent Distributors. In 1991, a sister company, Crystal Mountain Spring Waters, was founded to represent Crystal in the rapidly growing bottled water industry. Crystal and its owners, the Hansen Family, firmly believe in giving back to the community and thus, over the years, have supported a wide variety of local charitable causes.
