Salted butter

Salted butter is a common food ingredient made from cream, a dairy product obtained from milk. Butter is churned from cream, and the addition of salt to the butter creates salted butter. Salted butter is widely used in cooking and baking for its rich, creamy flavour and versatility.

To produce salted butter, cream is first churned to separate the butterfat from the buttermilk. Salt is then mixed into the butter, usually for flavour enhancement and to act as a preservative. The amount of salt added can vary depending on the brand or recipe. The final product is a creamy, spreadable butter with a slightly salty taste.

Salted butter is often listed as an ingredient in a variety of foods like baked goods, sauces, and even spread on toast. It is used in recipes to enhance flavour, add moisture, and improve texture. Salted butter also plays a role in browning and caramelization when used in frying or baking. Its presence on food labels indicates the inclusion of this ingredient in the product.
