From the perspective of the butter production process, want to make butter is not complicated, the most traditional way, probably is to take out some fresh milk, and then constantly stir, in the process of stirring, the milk water and fat will gradually part ways, this is because the density of fat is not as high as water, it will involuntarily float on the upper layer, when they are gathered, it becomes this yellowish initial butter, and then, people will filter it, purify, and then heat up and other steps, a piece of pure butter appears. After that, we will find that the butter is in a colder environment, will solidify into this opaque yellow solid, and will melt when heated.
It is worth mentioning that butter is also divided into unsalted and salted according to taste, in general, unsalted butter is more suitable for cooking or making desserts, because it does not affect the taste of other ingredients, salt butter can be used to spread in bread or sandwiches directly eaten.

It is said that Indians will also use butter when making curry, and in our country, there are not many people who eat butter, and in supermarkets, most of the shelves where butter is placed are very deserted, this is because Our country has been an agricultural country since ancient times, most of the diet is based on vegetables and grains, most of the Chinese people are good at cooking, and there are various condiments, and they will not use butter, so that our demand for butter is very small. At present, in the domestic market, there is no industrial chain specializing in the production of butter, and most of the domestic production is mainly based on the production of "vegetable butter", so many "animal butter" still need to be imported from New Zealand or Australia and other countries.
