Fleischmann's Unsalted Butter
What it is
This is a dairy-based spread made from churned cream. It is a solid fat at room temperature but softens when heated. The absence of salt means its flavor is pure butter, allowing other ingredients in a dish to shine without added salinity. It comes in a convenient tub for easy scooping and spreading.
How people cook with it
This versatile fat is a staple in many kitchens, used for both cooking and baking.
- Baking cakes and cookies
- Sautéing vegetables
- Spreading on toast
- Melting over steamed dishes
For baking, it's often softened to room temperature to cream with sugar, creating a light and airy texture in cakes and cookies. When sautéing, it adds richness and helps brown ingredients. It can also be melted and drizzled over finished dishes like corn on the cob or pancakes to enhance their flavor and mouthfeel. Its unsalted nature makes it ideal when you want complete control over the salt content of your recipes.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike salted butter, this product contains no added salt. This difference is significant for bakers who need to precisely control the salt level in their sweet creations. It also offers a cleaner, more direct butter flavor, which can be preferable in delicate sauces or when pairing with other strong flavors.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional bakers who appreciate the ability to control salt levels in their dishes will find this product useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening, keep the remaining butter refrigerated in its original container. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent it from absorbing odors from other foods in the refrigerator. It should remain fresh for several weeks when stored properly.
