It is now generally accepted that butter with a fat content of less than 80% is not natural.

In fact, this is a myth. We tell you how things really are.

Which oil is better: 82.5% or 72.5%

There are three main types of butter: traditional with 82.5% fat content, amateur (80%) and peasant (72.5%).

They differ only in the amount of fat in the composition. The percentage of fat has no direct relation to the content of vegetable fats or trans fats in the oil.

Butter with a fat content of 82.5% has a richer taste and is well suited for sandwiches and sauces.

For baking, you can use more dietary peasant butter.

In addition, oil with a fat content of 72.5% is recommended for those who are contraindicated in high-fat products due to diseases of the stomach, pancreas and liver, as well as for those who watch their figure.

Thus, the quality of the oil does not depend on the percentage of fat. The main thing is that the product does not contain vegetable additives, starch, sugar and dyes.
