sweet cream
Butter's liquid base
Sweet cream is fresh, unhomogenized cream that has not been soured or cultured, distinguishing it from sour cream or crème fraîche.
It typically contains a high butterfat content and serves as the base for whipped cream, ice cream, and butter.
In American usage, sweet cream butter specifies butter made from fresh cream rather than cultured cream, which is more common in European traditions.
