Cultured Buttermilk

Cultured Buttermilk

Everyday

Cultured buttermilk is a fermented dairy product created by introducing lactic acid bacteria to pasteurized milk, resulting in a tangy flavor and slightly thickened consistency. Unlike traditional buttermilk (a byproduct of butter churning), this modern version is prized for its probiotic content that supports gut health and its role in baking to tenderize doughs and batters. With 98% less fat than whole milk, it provides calcium and protein while remaining digestible for many with lactose intolerance due to fermentation.
