What it is

Cultured butter is butter made from cream that has been fermented by lactic acid bacteria. These bacteria give the butter a tangy, slightly sour flavor and a richer aroma compared to regular butter. It is churned from this cultured cream.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use cultured butter for its distinct flavor and aroma, which can enhance baked goods, sauces, and spreads. It adds a rich, complex taste to items like croissants, cakes, cookies, and savory dishes. It is also used as a spread on bread and toast.

Health notes

Cultured butter is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. It is a source of fat and contains some vitamins, primarily fat-soluble ones like A and D. Like all dairy products, it contains saturated fat. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated butter and its components. At typical consumption levels, it does not pose health concerns for most people.

Allergen info

Cultured butter is derived from milk, which is one of the FDA's 9 major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
