Butter

Butter is a popular ingredient made from dairy, specifically cream. It is a natural product that comes from churning milk or cream to separate the butterfat from the buttermilk. As a result, butter has a rich and creamy texture with a slightly salty taste.

To make butter, cream is agitated or churned until the fat globules clump together, forming butter. The remaining liquid is the buttermilk. This process helps to separate the butterfat from the other components of the cream, resulting in the solid form of butter that we use in cooking and baking.

Butter appears on food labels due to its important role in enhancing the flavour and texture of various dishes. It is commonly used in baking to add richness and moisture to cakes, biscuits, and pastries. Butter is also used in cooking to add flavour to savoury dishes like sauces, roasted vegetables, and mashed potatoes. Additionally, butter can be spread on bread or toast and is a key ingredient in many desserts such as shortbread and buttercream frosting.
