Butter (melted)

Description

Melted butter is a golden, shiny fat with a delicate, buttery aroma and a nutty hint when lightly browned. Its smooth consistency easily coats and emulsifies dishes, adding juiciness and intensity of flavor. As a product rich in energy, butter mainly provides saturated fats, as well as fat-soluble vitamins, primarily vitamin A, and trace amounts of D, E, and K2; butter from grass-fed cows contains beneficial components such as butyric acid and CLA. When used in moderation, it aids in the absorption of vitamins and enhances the flavor profile of dishes. Melted butter is ideal for frying over low/medium heat, as an addition to sauces, drizzles, glazes, for baking, and finishing dishes. After use, it is advisable to cool it down, transfer it to an airtight container, and store it in the refrigerator (best used within 5–7 days); for longer storage, it can be frozen or clarified butter can be prepared, which is more stable at room temperature.
