While regular butter is made from fresh cream, cultured butter is produced by fermenting the cream with live bacterial cultures, much like yogurt or sour cream. This process is what gives it a notably richer, more complex flavor profile and a characteristic tang that sets it apart from its milder counterpart. This European-style butter, with a history that predates modern refrigeration, brings a gourmet touch to both cooking and baking.
