A sealed package particularly adapted for storing, shipping, handling and for supporting for use after the cover is peeled off, an individual portion of a spreadable product such as butter, margarine, peanut butter and the like. The package is comprised of a relatively flat, relatively stiff base member which is generally rectangularly shaped having the spreadable product adhering to the center portion of the base member and a top member or cover made from a flexible sheet into a shape having a center portion generally co-extensive with the top surface of the spreadable product and downwardly and outwardly extending edges pleated to form peel tabs, said top member being cohesively attached to the base member at the outwardly extending edges so as to fully enclose the spreadable product on the base member with such peel tabs extending beyond the base. The top member is attached to the base member so that it can be peeled from the base member and spreadable product by pulling a peel tab to expose such product on the base member so that such amounts of the product, as required by the user, can be removed from the base with a knife or the like as such product is being used.
