If butter crumbles, it may indicate low quality of the product, experts warn.

We'll tell you why butter crumbles and when this isn't normal.

Why does butter crumble?

First, butter can crumble after deep freezing or repeated defrosting.

In this case, the issue is most likely not the quality of the product, but a violation of storage conditions.

If the butter has not been frozen, but it still crumbles, this may be a sign of a violation of the cooking technology or a high content of vegetable fats.

Excessive softness of butter is also not normal. If frozen butter remains soft, it is most likely not of very high quality.

Another sign of low quality oil is its blackening in the frying pan.
