What is butter?

Butter is a kind of solid grease processed from milk, which can be extracted from milk skin, white oil or oil skin condensed from fresh milk.

Butter is extremely rich in nutrition, which is the highest content in dairy products. Because only 50 or 60 kilograms of yogurt can extract about 2 kilograms of butter, which shows its preciousness. For the convenience of eating, herders often put butter in utensils or in the stomach bags of cattle and sheep. In the cold winter, when people and animals are frozen stiff, they are often rescued by drinking canned butter tea and butter wine.

food culture

The historical records of butter can be traced back to ancient times five or six thousand years ago, and can be found in some ancient Indian books and works of ancient Greek writers. However, at that time, people did not regard butter as food, but as medicine, cosmetics and sacrifices to the gods. Butter was first invented by a few people living in grasslands and cold north. As a kind of food, it has a solemn position, because it is scarce and precious.

Butter was introduced to the dining table by herders 3000 years ago. In ancient Rome and ancient Greece, like milk, it was also the food of nomadic civilization, which was only eaten by Gauls and Germans.
