cultured butter
Tangy dairy spread
Cultured butter is butter made from cream that has been fermented with live bacteria before churning.
The fermentation produces a tangier, more complex flavor than regular butter and was traditional before refrigeration made sweet cream butter practical.
European-style butters are typically cultured.
I use cultured butter for the flavor, especially in baking.
