What it is
This is a block of unsalted butter made from pasteurized cream. Butter is a dairy product that is solid at room temperature but melts when heated. Unsalted butter allows the cook to control the amount of salt in a dish. It is a staple in many kitchens for both sweet and savory applications.
How people cook with it
Butter is a fundamental ingredient for many cooking and baking tasks.
- Baking cakes and cookies
- Sautéing vegetables
- Sauces and gravies
- Spreading on toast
Unsalted butter can be used in a variety of ways. For baking, it is often creamed with sugar to create a light and airy texture. It can also be melted and added to batters or used to grease baking pans. In savory cooking, butter adds richness to pan sauces, helps vegetables caramelize, and can be used to finish dishes. It is also a popular choice for spreading on bread, muffins, or pancakes.
How it differs from similar foods
Unsalted butter differs from salted butter by the absence of added salt. This distinction is important for bakers and cooks who want precise control over the saltiness of their final product. Salted butter contains added salt, which can affect flavor and texture, especially in delicate baked goods.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused butter in its original packaging or an airtight container in the refrigerator. This helps prevent it from absorbing odors from other foods and maintains its freshness. It can also be frozen for longer storage.
