What it is
Cultured milkfat is a dairy ingredient made from milk fat that has been fermented by beneficial bacteria. This process can alter the flavor and texture of the milk fat, often giving it a slightly tangy or cheesy taste.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use cultured milkfat to add richness, flavor, and a creamy texture to foods. It is often found in dairy-based products, sauces, dips, and baked goods where a distinct dairy flavor is desired.
Health notes
Cultured milkfat is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of fat and fat-soluble vitamins. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar dairy components, and no significant health concerns are associated with its typical consumption in the US diet.
Allergen info
Cultured milkfat is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
