How to check butter for quality

1

When buying butter, we often focus on the price, although unscrupulous manufacturers may hide a dairy product behind it, rather than high-quality butter. You can check the quality of butter at home. The procedure is very simple. Do it and you will know what to buy next time and whether to trust the manufacturer.

Details

Pour boiling water into a transparent glass, add 2 tsp. oil, stir thoroughly and leave for 10 minutes.

After that, observe:

• the water should be milky in color, not transparent;
• the top layer of oil should be uniform, without pieces or flakes;
• the smell of the dissolved oil should be creamy, as natural as possible;
• a light foam on top is also permissible for natural oil.

When buying oil, be sure to check the expiration date and composition, but it will not be superfluous to spend 10 g on a home test.
