Breakstone's Unsalted Whipped Butter
What it is
This is a spreadable butter product made from cream and cultures, with the salt removed. Whipping incorporates air, giving it a lighter texture than traditional butter. It is designed to be easily spreadable straight from the refrigerator, making it convenient for everyday use. The absence of salt allows for greater control over the final flavor profile in recipes.
How people cook with it
Unsalted whipped butter is a versatile ingredient for both cooking and baking. Its soft consistency makes it easy to incorporate into various dishes.
- Spreading on toast
- Baking cookies
- Sautéing vegetables
- Melting over steamed corn
Due to its already softened state, this butter can be used directly from the container. For baking, it can be creamed with sugar for cakes and cookies, or melted for recipes that call for liquid butter. In savory cooking, it melts quickly into pans for sautéing or can be used to finish sauces and vegetables. Its spreadability also makes it ideal for quick applications like buttering bread or muffins.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike regular butter, this whipped version is aerated, resulting in a lighter, fluffier texture. The lack of salt distinguishes it from salted butter, offering a neutral base for recipes where salt content needs precise management.
Who it is for
Home cooks and bakers who appreciate convenience and control over seasoning will find this butter useful.
How to keep the rest
Keep refrigerated. Once opened, store in its original container. It is best to consume within a reasonable timeframe after opening to maintain freshness and quality. Avoid leaving it at room temperature for extended periods.
