Tips
- Choose heavy cream with gellan gum over carrageenan if possible, as it helps the butter come together more quickly.
- After 48 hours at room temperature, chill the cream in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before mixing to speed up separation.
- Keep mixing past the whipped cream phase until the butter and buttermilk separate.
- Rinse the butter in very cold water to remove as much buttermilk as possible to extend its shelf life.
- To make butter soft and spreadable straight from the refrigerator, blend it with a little avocado oil.
- Freezing cultured butter makes live cultures dormant, not dead.
