Difference between butter and cream butter
-
Many people think that butter is healthier than regular butter. Butter is always made from cream (churned milk fat), so every butter is in principle cream butter. But because many people do not know this, manufacturers take advantage of this by putting 'butter' on the packaging and selling it for an expensive price. Nevertheless, there may be a difference in taste in butter per manufacturer. This has to do with the milk, among other things. We also distinguish salted and unsalted (cream) butter. Salted butter contains at least 80 percent milk fat, unsalted butter contains at least 82 percent milk fat.
