What it is

Butteroil is a concentrated milk fat product made by removing nearly all the water and non-fat milk solids from butter or cream. It is composed almost entirely of milk fat, typically around 99.8%. This process results in a product that is stable at room temperature.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use butteroil to provide a rich buttery flavor and smooth texture to products. Its low moisture content also helps extend shelf life in certain applications. It is commonly found in chocolates, cookies, biscuits, and frozen desserts.

Health notes

Butteroil is a dairy product and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. As a source of saturated fat, the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. JECFA has evaluated milk fat as a food ingredient.

Allergen info

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