Butter salt
Butter salt
Butter salt is a seasoning developed in the late twentieth century for the purpose of combining the flavours found in salt and butter. It is a fine, golden powder, originally salt, enriched with butter flavouring. It is often used as a seasoning for popcorn. It is said to impart a "rich, buttery flavour".[1]
The contents are usually salt, artificial butter flavoring, and yellow food colouring.[2]
Use in butter[]
Butter salt (sometimes called buttersalt)[3][4] also refers to salt that is used in the preparation of butter and other dairy products.[5] Some manufacturers produce salt specifically for the use in butter, such as "No. 2 butter salt".[6] Salt serves as a preservative for butter.[4][7]
