Churned Butter

Churned butter is traditional, salted butter made by churning pasteurized cream. By Canadian regulations it contains at least 80% fat, about 16% water and about 3% milk solids. It is generally available in 1 lb (454 g) blocks, 8 oz (250 g) blocks and 1 lb (454 g) blocks of 4 individually wrapped sticks. Churned butter is available in salted and unsalted versions, as well as “semi-salt” with about half the amount of salt of regular salted butter.
