Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups of organic heavy cream (preferably from grass-fed cows)
  • Sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pour the organic heavy cream into a blender or food processor. Make sure the cream is at room temperature.
  2. Blend the cream on low speed initially and gradually increase the speed to high. Continue blending until the cream thickens and separates into butterfat (yellow solids) and buttermilk (liquid).
  3. Once the separation occurs, stop blending and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth to separate the butterfat from the buttermilk. Save the buttermilk for other recipes if desired.
  4. Rinse the butterfat under cold water to remove any remaining buttermilk. This step helps preserve the butter and prevent it from spoiling quickly.
  5. Using a spatula or your hands, gather the butterfat together and press out any excess liquid.
  6. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the butter and incorporate it by gently kneading or mixing the butter with a spatula.
  7. Transfer the butter to an airtight container or shape it into a log using parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least one hour to allow it to firm up.
  8. Enjoy your homemade organic grass-fed butter! It can be spread on bread, used in cooking, or enjoyed as a condiment.

Note: The amount of butter produced may vary depending on the cream used. It is normal for homemade butter to have a slightly different taste and texture compared to store-bought butter.

Please make sure to use high-quality organic heavy cream sourced from grass-fed cows to achieve the best results.
