This creamy spread is made with sour cream and a combination of powdered milk and buttermilk. It is enjoyed throughout the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The spread is traditionally flavored with various herbs, ham, peppers, or garlic. Although it was originally known as pomazánkové máslo, meaning butter spread, under the recent European Union regulation the term was forbidden since the product does not contain the minimum milk fat content of 39%.

In compliance with the law, both the Czech Republic and Slovakia have decided to name the spread máslová pomazánka and smotanová nátierka, respectively.
