What is the difference between cultured butter and regular butter?
Cultured butter is made with pasteurized cream in a churn just like regular butter with one added step. After pasteurization, the cream is fermented by adding a carefully selected bacterial culture. The cream must rest for one day in a vat to allow the culture to produce a complex blend of flavor compounds. This is the source of the flavor difference between cultured butter and regular butter. After the fermenation, the cream is churned into butter.
