Butter, Euro Style

European-style butter is a rich, creamy butter with a higher butterfat content (82–85%) than standard American butter, which usually has around 80% butterfat. This high butterfat content gives it a more luxurious, smooth texture and a pronounced buttery flavor. European-style butter is often cultured, meaning it’s fermented with live cultures before churning, adding a slight tanginess and depth to the taste. It’s ideal for both baking and finishing dishes, as it melts beautifully and enhances flavors without overpowering them.
