What is sweet cream butter?
Sweet cream butter is the main ingredient in most American style butter. It is made from pasteurized fresh cream. European butter is usually made from cultured sour cream giving it a less sweet taste. Sweet cream butter comes in both salted and unsalted to meet recipe guidelines.
