butter flavor

Rich creamy taste

Butter flavor is the taste or aroma characteristic of butter, or an artificial additive designed to mimic it.

The phrase most often refers to synthetic flavorings used in processed foods: butter flavor popcorn, butter flavor spray.

These additives replicate butter's rich, creamy taste without actual dairy content, common in microwave popcorn, margarine, and baked goods.
