Breakstone's All Natural Unsalted Butter
What it is
This is a single serving portion of unsalted butter. It is made from pure cream and is a dairy product. The butter is churned to create a smooth texture. It is a staple in many kitchens for both cooking and baking. This small size is convenient for individual use.
How people cook with it
Unsalted butter is a versatile ingredient used in countless culinary applications.
- Baking cakes and cookies
- Sautéing vegetables
- Spreading on toast
- Adding richness to sauces
Unsalted butter can be softened at room temperature for creaming with sugar in baked goods. It can also be melted for use in sauces, glazes, or to moisten dishes. When sautéing, it adds flavor and helps prevent sticking. For spreading, it offers a rich, creamy taste. Its lack of salt makes it ideal when precise salt control is needed in a recipe.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike salted butter, unsalted butter allows the cook to control the total amount of salt in a dish. This is particularly important in baking where salt levels can significantly affect flavor and texture. It also has a slightly fresher taste due to the absence of salt.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs use unsalted butter for its controlled salt content and pure dairy flavor.
How to keep the rest
To store any remaining butter, keep it tightly wrapped in its original packaging or in an airtight container. Refrigeration is recommended to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage. It can also be frozen for longer-term storage.
