raw butter
Unprocessed dairy fat
Raw butter is butter made from unpasteurized cream, retaining enzymes and bacteria that pasteurization would destroy.
Advocates prize it for flavor and purported health benefits, while food safety authorities warn of contamination risks.
Sale is restricted or prohibited in many jurisdictions: We drove across the state line to buy raw butter from a farm.
