According to the Center for Dairy Research, while most U.S. butter contains a minimum of 80% butterfat, specialized brands like Minerva Dairy and Danish Creamery produce premium versions that achieve an impressive 85% butterfat content. This higher fat percentage significantly impacts the butter's texture, richness, and performance in baking.

With up to 85% butterfat, Amish butter boasts a significantly higher fat content than the standard 80% found in most American butters. This key difference is the first clue as to what's so special about Amish butter, influencing its creamy texture and rich, distinctive flavor that many home cooks and chefs prize for baking and finishing dishes.
