What it is
Aa butter is a type of butter made from the milk of cows. It is produced by churning cream, a process that separates the butterfat from the buttermilk. The butterfat is then typically salted and worked to achieve a smooth texture.
Why it's used
Aa butter is primarily used as a spread for toast and bread, and as an ingredient in baking and cooking. Its rich flavor and creamy texture enhance baked goods, sauces, and sautéed dishes. It is commonly found in products like roasted vegetables and pre-packaged meals where a buttery flavor is desired.
Health notes
Aa butter is a natural dairy product and is generally recognized as safe by the FDA. It is a source of saturated fat and cholesterol. The FDA does not set specific upper intake levels for butter, but dietary guidelines recommend limiting saturated fat intake. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated butter and its components, and it is considered safe for consumption at typical levels.
Allergen info
Aa butter is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
