Is butter from the old world or the new world in the Columbian exchange?

Answer 1

Butter originates from the Old World, specifically Europe, where dairy farming and butter-making practices were developed. During the Columbian Exchange, which began in the late 15th century, European settlers brought butter and dairy farming techniques to the New World. Consequently, while butter itself is from the Old World, it was introduced and became part of the culinary practices in the New World through this exchange.
