What it is

Salted butter is a dairy product made by churning fresh or fermented cream, separating the butterfat from the buttermilk. Salt is added during the churning process to enhance flavor and act as a mild preservative.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use salted butter for its rich flavor, creamy texture, and to add moisture to baked goods. It is frequently found in cakes, cupcakes, snack cakes, and ice cream.
