Lucerne Whipped Unsalted Butter
What it is
This is a tub of butter that has been whipped to incorporate air. Whipping makes the butter lighter and easier to spread. It is unsalted, meaning no salt has been added during its production. This allows for greater control over the saltiness of dishes. The butter is made from dairy cream and has a smooth, creamy texture.
How people cook with it
Whipped butter is a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory cooking. It can be used in baking, as a spread, or to enrich sauces.
- Spreading on toast
- Baking cookies
- Melting into sauces
- Topping vegetables
Because it is already whipped, this butter is very soft and easy to mix into batters and doughs. It melts quickly when heated, making it ideal for finishing sauces or pan-frying. For baking, its airy texture can contribute to lighter baked goods. When used as a spread, it glides smoothly onto bread or crackers without tearing. Its unsalted nature means you can adjust the seasoning precisely for any recipe, from delicate pastries to robust savory dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike regular butter, whipped butter is aerated, giving it a lighter consistency and making it spreadable straight from the refrigerator. The absence of salt provides flexibility in seasoning, distinguishing it from salted varieties where the salt content is pre-determined.
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 any remaining whipped butter refrigerated in its original container. Ensure the lid is securely closed to maintain its freshness and prevent it from absorbing odors from other foods in the refrigerator. It should remain spreadable for several days when stored properly.
