What is whey butter?
Whey Butter is a by-product of cheese making and is recognised by the Slow Food UK movement as one of the UK’s great ‘forgotten foods’. Unlike ordinary British butter which is produced using fresh milk, the butterfat within whey butter undergoes the initial processes of cheese making. Whey butter has a firm texture and in comparison to fresh butter types is oilier and less shiny. Considered healthier than other types of butter due to having a lower fat content, whey butter is also versatile in the kitchen and can be used for cooking, baking or even simply as a topping.
Why is it forgotten?
Producers of whey butter are rare due to production methods being time-consuming, labour intensive and requiring specific skills that are only known by a limited number of dairymen who take a hands-on approach to butter production.

I really enjoyed this butter, very different in flavour from the organic butter I normally buy. Thought I would test it out having seen on bbc breakfast tv.
Visually it’s a deep yellow, the surface is ‘ribbed’ due to the wooden paddle that shaped it.
Salty, and flavour is amazing. Not tasted butter this good for such a long time.
Reminds me of butter my mum used to buy , cut from a block of butter. .. before commercially made butter.
Would buy again.

Just a delightful tang on the palette. Perfect choice of cheesy loveliness, served with Langhams blanc de blanc, pineapple crisps and good friends.
