About Butter, without salt
Butter is a rich dairy staple made by churning cream until the butterfat separates from the liquid buttermilk and comes together into a smooth, spreadable solid. Most butter is made from cow's milk and sold either salted, which keeps longer and seasons as it flavors, or unsalted, which bakers prefer for control. European-style butters are churned to a higher fat content for an especially creamy, tender result, while cultured butters are fermented for a tangy depth.
Made up mostly of fat, butter is calorie-dense and treasured for the flavor, richness, and browning it brings to cooking and baking, from flaky pie crust and golden pancakes to silky pan sauces and the nutty aroma of browned butter. It is also the simplest of spreads on warm bread. Clarifying butter removes the milk solids to make ghee, which has a higher smoke point and resists burning when you fry.
Keep butter wrapped in the refrigerator, where it lasts for weeks, or tuck extra in the freezer for months of longer storage.
