buttery flavor
Taste of margarine
Buttery flavor describes a rich, creamy taste reminiscent of butter—smooth, fatty, and slightly sweet.
The term appears in wine tasting for oaky Chardonnays, in descriptions of pastries and sauces, and for foods that taste buttery without containing butter: The lobster had a naturally buttery flavor.
Artificial butter flavoring, as on movie theater popcorn, is also called buttery.
