I looked at my butter today, the ingredients are:

  • butter oil
  • milk powder

What the hell is butter oil? I tried googling it, but I get VERY contradictory results, nothing from a reputable source I could find.

Just start making your own. It's actually really really easy.

Required equipment:
Big mixing bowl
Electric mixer

Required ingredients:
Extra thick double cream/whipping cream

Optional ingredients:
Salt
Garlic
Wild garlic
Insert herb here

Process:

  1. place cream in bowl.
  2. whip until it separates, folding the chunks back in and stop when there's only butter and
  3. decant newly made buttermilk.
  4. wash butter to remove buttermilk by filling bowl part way with cold water and just squeezing the butter. Switch water and wash until no visible milkyness comes out of the butter.
  5. add extras by folding or blending it through the butter.
  6. store any butter you're not likely to use within a few days in the freezer, I like to portion it out into 100g bits, so I know I won't be wasting any of it.

There, now you'll never have to wonder what your butter is made from again!

Salt is not an optional ingredient.

Unsalted butter is a crime against cuisine.

Thank you for self-reporting, criminal. Please stand by, the butter police will arrive shortly.

Salted butter is a condiment.

Unsalted butter is an ingredient.
