Salted Sweet Cream Butter

What it is

This is a dairy product made from cream that has been churned. It is salted, which helps to preserve it and adds a distinct flavor. The sweet cream base means it is made from cream that has not been soured before churning, resulting in a milder, richer taste compared to cultured butter. This butter is a staple in many kitchens for both cooking and baking.

How people cook with it

Butter is a versatile ingredient used in countless culinary applications. It adds richness, moisture, and flavor to both sweet and savory dishes.

• Spreading on toast
• Baking cookies
• Sautéing vegetables
• Sauces and glazes

Salted sweet cream butter can be used directly from the refrigerator for spreading or softened at room temperature for baking. When baking, it often needs to be creamed with sugar to incorporate air, which helps create a lighter texture in cakes and cookies. In savory cooking, it can be melted to sauté aromatics like onions and garlic, or used to finish sauces and pan-fried meats, adding a glossy sheen and a smooth mouthfeel. The salt content should be considered when adjusting seasoning in recipes.

How it differs from similar foods

Compared to unsalted butter, this product contains added salt, which contributes to its flavor profile and acts as a mild preservative. Sweet cream butter has a fresh, clean taste, differing from cultured butter which has a tangier, more complex flavor due to the fermentation process.

Who it is for

Home cooks and professional chefs alike rely on this butter for its consistent performance and familiar taste.

How to keep the rest

To keep the remaining butter fresh, store it tightly wrapped in its original packaging or in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This prevents it from absorbing odors from other foods. For longer storage, it can be frozen.
