About Butter oil
Butter oil is concentrated dairy fat made by removing most of the water and non-fat milk solids from butter. It is generally a pale yellow, pourable fat when warm and solid or semi-solid when cool, with a rich buttery aroma and flavour.
It is used for cooking, baking, and enriching foods, and is sold in liquid or solid forms depending on temperature and processing. It is distinct from ordinary butter, which retains water and milk solids. Nutrition comparisons should distinguish butter oil from butter and account for any remaining moisture or milk solids.
