unsalted butter
Sodium-free dairy fat
Unsalted butter is butter made without added salt, giving the cook complete control over seasoning.
It's preferred in baking and pastry work where precise salt levels matter: The recipe calls for unsalted butter.
Sometimes labeled "sweet cream butter." It spoils faster than salted butter since salt acts as a preservative.
