Salted
vs. Unsalted Butter
Did you know that butter comes two ways: salted
and unsalted?
Salt is added to butter for flavor and as a preservative
so it will have a longer shelf life. Salt, however,
can sometimes overpower the sweet flavor of the butter and
can also mask odors. The amount of salt added to salted
butter varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, so it’s hard
to know how much extra salt you’re adding to a recipe.
Using unsalted butter allows the cook to control the amount
of salt in a recipe.
