B Is For Butter

It's June dairy Month! The barn doors are open, 
so join me on my daily A to Z journey 
to learn more about dairy. 
Today B is for Butter.

 First, the cream is separated from fresh whole milk. The cream is then churned by shaking it vigorously until it thickens. The remaining liquid (buttermilk) is removed. The butter is washed and formed into its solid shape.
Ta-da! Butter is made.
 
Melting on your toast... a sliver on your steamed vegetables...drizzled on your popcorn... you get the picture.
