Breakstone's Unsalted Whipped Butter
What it is
This is a spreadable butter product made from cream and cultures. It is whipped to incorporate air, making it lighter and easier to spread directly from the refrigerator. The absence of salt means the pure butter flavor is more prominent, allowing it to blend seamlessly into both sweet and savory dishes without adding extra sodium. Its smooth texture is a key characteristic.
How people cook with it
Whipped butter is a versatile ingredient in the kitchen, useful for both cooking and finishing dishes. Its ease of use makes it a convenient choice for everyday applications.
- Spreading on toast
- Baking pastries
- Sauce enrichment
- Pan-frying vegetables
Unsalted whipped butter can be used in any application where regular butter is called for, with the understanding that it will not contribute salt. It melts quickly, making it ideal for sauces or finishing cooked vegetables. For baking, its airy texture can sometimes affect the final product's density, so it may be best suited for recipes where a lighter crumb is desired or where other leavening agents are also present. It can also be softened and creamed with sugar for cookies and cakes.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike regular butter, this whipped version is aerated, resulting in a softer consistency at colder temperatures. The lack of salt distinguishes it from salted butter, offering a cleaner, more direct butter flavor that is preferred in certain baking and cooking scenarios where precise salt control is needed.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs who appreciate the convenience and pure flavor of unsalted butter will find this product useful.
How to keep the rest
Keep refrigerated. Once opened, it should be stored in its original container with the lid tightly sealed to maintain its freshness and prevent it from absorbing odors from other foods in the refrigerator. Proper storage ensures its spreadable quality is preserved.
