Hey all

We ran out of butter tonight, so just for fun I blended some heavy
whipping cream (per Joy of Cooking) and the yield was quite good
(snacking on fresh bread tonight!).

This homemade butter is great and it makes me wonder: what do the dairy
people add to store-bought butter-? Is it as pure as the blender product-?

Jus' wondering--

Salt is the usual addition to make the butter last.

Butter is just whipped cream, unless you choose to add salt and/or
coloring(annato).

Age. Also can depend on the type of milk used for butter making,
and what the cows were eating that week. If you're used to buying
regular salted butter, that was probably the difference. If you
compare your product with unsalted or sweet butter, then you'll have
the comparison.

Hopefully nothing, but read the ingredients if in doubt.

If you're going to make your own, it doesn't hurt to add some fresh herbs to
a small batch. Basil butter and sage butter are both good on bread.

If the original poster is in the U.S., it will be somewhat difficult for
him/her to find anything except sweet butter. At least that is what I find.

It's as pure as the blender product. They don't add anything to butter
beyond salt.

And here's another one of those things like the prime rib one. Sweet
butter doesn't mean unsalted. It means it was made from sweet cream;
that is unsoured cream. You can buy sweet butter salted or unsalted.
