Professional insight

Bakers check the salt level and if it is pure butter. Arla sells both.

  • Pure butter lists only cream, salt and sometimes culture.
  • Spreadables add rapeseed oil and behave differently in baking.
  • Salt runs about 1.2 to 1.7 percent by market.
  • Cultured versions taste slightly tangy.
