Q. What is the difference between butter and butter oil?

Answer

Butter and butter oil, are both derived from the cream of milk. They are the derivatives of milk fat. Butter is obtained by collecting of milk fat, storing it in a refrigerator, and processing it to create unsalted butter. To create salted butter, you can add salt to the butter mix and strain to remove any water content. It is allowed to settle in moulds. Butter oil, also called as ghee, is derived from butter. Butter is allowed to be heated slowly and gradually over a low flame, till all the water content has been evaporated. It leaves behind an aromatic oil, called ghee, which can be stored for a long time without any refrigeration. It is the most widely used native milk product and occupies a significant position in the Indian diet's food pyramid. Dairy products high in fat are referred to as butter, butter oil, and ghee.
