Butter is a fat. Fats are broken by lipase's, enzymes made in the pancreas. When they are broken down into smaller carbon chains and some hydrolyzed they are absorbed thru the intestinal wall into the mesenteric blood vessels and also into lymph channels. They are then passed thru the liver and broken down further(metabolized) or stored in fat cells.
