The historical production of butter

  • 2000 BCE

    When butter was first discovered

    According to archaeological data. Archaeologists have discovered a 4500-year-old limestone tablet. It depicts how our forefathers produced butter. Some historians believe, however, that this spread was identified much earlier.

    Most modern way of making butter (6 AD in Europe)

    Churning cream until the fats separate from the liquid (buttermilk) and the butter is semi-solid is how butter is made. It's generally salted and prepared with sweet cream. It can, however, be made using acidulated or bacteriologically soured cream, as well as saltless (sweet) butters.
  • Example 1 of making butter (American)

    Whip cream at high speed until it becomes butter. If you want salted butter, season it with salt. Continue to mix by hand, using a spatula or a wooden spoon, to squeeze any extra buttermilk from the butter. Remove a lump of butter from the bowl at a time and squeeze it with your hands before placing it aside. If you wish to extend the life of the butter, rinse it in cool water to remove any remaining buttermilk. Refrigerate the butter lump until you're ready to use it.
  • Example 2 of making butter (American)

    Half-fill your jar with cream. Put your marbles in now if you're using them to speed up the procedure. Shake the container tightly until butter develops.
