Butter is a dairy fat made by churning cream. It typically contains about 82% milk fat; the remainder consists of water and milk solids. It is one of the most important ingredients in cooking and baking.

The main varieties are fresh butter, salted butter, clarified butter (ghee, from which most milk solids have been removed and which tolerates higher temperatures), and herb butter.

Butter is used in baking for cakes and pastry, for frying at low temperatures, in sauces such as hollandaise and beurre blanc, as a spread for bread, and to finish sauces and other dishes. It keeps for several weeks in the refrigerator and for several months in the freezer.
