Flavour Analysis

Salted butter’s first impression is insistent rich creaminess, but milk, animal fat and brine soon reveal the profile beneath. An oleic acid note supplies smooth oiliness, while a corn note threads in restrained grainy sweetness, and kombu dashi and caramel notes give the profile its more complex finish.
