Salted Butter
What it is
This is a block of butter made from cream that has not been pasteurized. It is lightly salted. The butter has a rich, complex flavor profile due to the unpasteurized cream. It is a traditional dairy product, often favored by those who appreciate its distinct taste and texture. The salt content is moderate, intended to enhance the natural butter flavor without overpowering it.
How people cook with it
Salted butter is a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory cooking. It adds richness and flavor to a wide range of dishes.
- Spreading on toast
- Baking pastries
- Sautéing vegetables
- Finishing sauces
Allow the butter to soften at room temperature for easier spreading and incorporation into recipes. For baking, it can be creamed with sugar or cut into dry ingredients. When cooking, it melts quickly to provide a base for sautéing or to add a glossy finish to pan sauces. Its distinct flavor can also be appreciated simply spread on warm bread or crackers. Use it wherever butter is called for, adjusting salt in the dish accordingly.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike pasteurized butter, this butter is made from unpasteurized cream, which contributes a more pronounced, slightly tangy flavor. The presence of salt also differentiates it from unsalted varieties, making it suitable for applications where a salty note is desired.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs who value traditional flavors and a rich butter taste will enjoy this product.
How to keep the rest
Keep the remaining butter refrigerated in its original packaging or an airtight container. This helps maintain its freshness and prevents it from absorbing odors from other foods in the refrigerator. It is best used before the indicated date.
