salted butter
Seasoned dairy spread
Salted butter is butter with salt added during production, distinguishing it from unsalted or "sweet" butter.
The salt enhances flavor and extends shelf life.
Recipes that call simply for butter typically mean salted, while baking recipes often specify unsalted to control sodium content precisely: Use unsalted butter so you can adjust the salt yourself.
