Butter is made from essentially just one ingredient – cream – so you’d be forgiven for thinking that all butter must taste the same. But its flavour and texture can differ depending on whether it’s salted, salt reduced or unsalted, how well it’s blended, whether it’s cultured or not, where it’s from and what the cows feed on, among other things.
A higher water content in butter is thought to be best for light pastry doughs, cream puffs, pie crusts, biscuits, and some cookies — but not every baker may agree. If you pick up Land O’Lakes for your next baking session, remember to choose unsalted unless a recipe says otherwise. Salted butter can change the taste and texture of baked goods.
