Tips
- European butter has a butterfat content of 82%-90%, while American butter only has a minimum of 80%.
- The cream in Europe is non-pasteurized and contains the bacteria necessary to create the tangy and nutty flavor, whereas all commercial creams are pasteurized in America.
- Fat of the cream is better.
- Yogurt NEEDS live and active cultures.
