Salted Butter

Butter churned from cream, with salt mixed in. The fat is about four-fifths of the block. The rest is water and milk solids.

Origin

Churned wherever dairy is made. The salt was once a preservative and is now a seasoning.

Flavour

Rich and creamy, seasoned rather than sweet.

How to use it

Spread it, or melt it for sauces and baking. If a recipe was written for unsalted butter, remember this one already contains salt.

Storage

Refrigerate, wrapped. It also freezes well.
