*Overview of the best according to the editors of Healthy Food Near Me. About selection criteria. This material is subjective, is not an advertisement and does not serve as a guide to the purchase. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

A huge variety of dairy products presented in the store makes it possible for a city person to enjoy the product without leaving the metropolis. Not everyone has relatives who live in the village and can treat them with homemade milk, sour cream and butter. Such a large demand becomes very tempting for unscrupulous manufacturers who, for the sake of profit, are ready to produce low-quality goods. In order not to run into another fake, you should figure out what a real product should be. Having studied the characteristics and our rating well, you can not be afraid to make a purchase.

How to choose the right butter

When choosing butter in a store, the buyer does not have the opportunity to taste it or evaluate its appearance. Basic information can be found on the packaging. Here every, even finely written text is important. The name on the wrapper should be “Butter”, “Peasant Butter” or “Amateur Butter”. Manufacturers of a natural product indicate its compliance with GOST and designate it with a special number. Beyond the traditional quality standard, good butter can be labeled as a product made to specification. The most important thing is to pay attention to the composition and take a few minutes to study it.

Good butter consists of whole milk, cream, and in rare cases, salt is present. Any vegetable oils or milk fat substitutes should immediately force you to return the product to the shelf. The shelf life of a useful product is in the range of 10 to 20 days, depending on the packaging material. At a lower storage temperature, the period increases, but does not exceed 6 months.

And the last important point that you should pay attention to when choosing butter in a supermarket. A natural product will not cost a penny. It takes 1 liters of cow’s milk to create 20 kg of butter. Therefore, packages with a price tag below 80 rubles should not even be considered.
