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.

    I would like to say that while this is clearly made in jest, unsalted butter is a requirement for some really great recipes, and also some people are on say a low sodium diet. I put it as optional, because I’m a mature person and don’t yuck other people’s yum.

        Why do people even combine butter and salt? Why not keep them separate, I think every kitchen I’ve ever seen has salt in it

          Traditionally, salted butter was way saltier than our modern salted butter and it was a way to make it last longer before we had refrigeration and pasteurisation

          When using butter as a spread it’s nice to have some salt incorporated. A salt shaker is very easy to overdo on something light like toast or pancakes.
