What it is

Butter oil is a dairy product made by removing water and milk solids from butter or cream. It is nearly 100% milk fat, concentrated to provide a rich dairy flavor and texture.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use butter oil to add a rich, buttery flavor and smooth texture to various foods. It is often found in baked goods, confectionery, and processed foods like sauces or potato dishes, where it contributes fat and mouthfeel.

Health notes

Butter oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a common food ingredient. As a concentrated source of fat, it contributes calories and saturated fat to the diet. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend keeping saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories.

Allergen info

Butter oil is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
