Butter

Butter is a natural dairy product made exclusively from milk, cream or both​. It contains at least 80% milkfat by weight​. The two main types of butter in the U.S. are ​sweet cream butter​ (available lightly salted, unsalted and whipped​) and cultured cream butter​. A third type of butter, European-style, contains a higher​ butterfat content of 83-86%​ and is well suited for baking​. Butter is made by churning or shaking cream until it reaches a semi-solid state.
