How people cook with it

When baking, butter is often creamed with sugar to create a light and airy base for cakes and cookies. It can also be melted and added to batters or used to grease baking pans.

For spreading, allow it to soften slightly at room temperature for easier application on bread or pastries. The salt in this butter means you may not need to add extra salt to your recipes.
