The first step in butter production involves separating Milk and the cream. Earlier milk was simply left standing until the cream rose to the surface and then skimmed. Cream rises because it is lighter than the other milk components. In modern cream production an efficient method called centrifugation is used. Butter is then produced from cream by churning which involves swirling the cream until the fat or butter clumps together and separates from the liquid portion or buttermilk. The buttermilk is drained off and the butter is churned further until it becomes ready for packaging.

The myth about the butter

Butter has been blamed for heart disease due to its high saturated fat content in the past. But now research show butter is considered healthy. Butter has about 80% fat and the rest is mostly water. Butter is the most complex of all dietary fats. But it contains more than 400 different fatty acids. It is very high in saturated fatty acids about 70% and holds a fair amount of monounsaturated fatty acids (about 25%). Polyunsaturated fats are only present in minimal amounts of about 2.3% of the total fat content.

Butter has several vitamins particularly fat soluble ones. It is rich in various vitamins like A, B12, D, E, and K2. Butter is generally healthy and low in lactose but may increase your weight when eaten in excess. Though it has been blamed for raising heart disease risk some studies now indicate it could benefit heart health.

Why We Use Only Grass Fed Cow’s Milk

The feed of dairy cows can have a great effect on the nutritional quality of it’s milk. Grass-fed butter is made from the milk of cows that graze on pasture or are fed fresh grass. In most dairy farms cows are fed with commercial grain based feeds. Grass fed cow butter is higher in many nutrients than butter from cows fed processed grain based feeds or conserved grass. A higher proportion of fresh grass in a cow’s diet increases the amount of healthy fats like omega-3 fatty acids and CLA. That is why we make our butter only from grass bred cow’s milk.

Conclusion

Butter is a milk product extracted from milk fat. While mainly composed of fat, it’s also rich in many vitamins, especially A, D, E, and K2. Butter may not be particularly nutritious when considering its large number of calories. Due to its high saturated fat content it has been blamed for increased risk for weight gain and heart disease. Yet several studies point to the contrary. But an important point to consider is butter is healthy in moderation and excessive consumption should be avoided.
