Best Answer

milk.

Butter is made from the fat content of milk. If you leave fresh milk from a dairy to sit for a while, the cream rises to the top. From this, butter is made. If you over-whip a carton of cream(not the reduced fat type) you will get an unprocessed form of butter.

According to Wikipedia:

  • "Butter is a water-in-oil emulsion resulting from an inversion of the cream; the milk proteins are the emulsifiers." and
  • "Most frequently made from cows' milk, butter can also be manufactured from the milk of other mammals, including sheep, goats, buffalo, and yaks. Salt, flavorings and preservatives are sometimes added to butter. Rendering butter produces clarified butter or ghee, which is almost entirely butterfat."

Butter is a dairy product that is made by churning (the process of shaking up milk or cream) cream or milk. Essentially, it consists of fat, milk proteins, and water.

Butter's main ingredient is chemically called a lipid (common name is "fat"). It is a complex molecule that takes the shape of a bubble/sphere, with the hydrophobic (water-repelling) part of the molecule along its outside surface. This makes lipids harder to mix with water. Oils also have lipids as one of its main ingredients, but it is less dense than butter. Most butters are solids at room temperature because they contain more saturated fats than oils.

Butter formulations can be a blend of one or more fat types: saturated fats, poly-unsaturated fats, and mono-unsaturated fats. Most consumer butters sold in supermarkets also contain flavor enhancers, colorants, aromas, and artificial compounds to help them stay solid longer (for butter spreads) or melt more easily for cooking.
