Chapters include The History of Butter, The Composition and Food Value of Butter, Cleanliness, Care of Milk and Cream, Cream Separation, Grading Milk and Cream, and Neutralizing Acidity, Pasteurization, Cream Ripening, From Churn to Package, Flavors of Butter, The Storage of Butter, Marketing of Butter, Whey Butter, Renovated and Ladled Butter, Margarine, Definition of Terms Related to Buttermaking and more. The Book of Butter will shed considerable light on techniques of buttermaking that were utilized at the turn of the century, not only by the commercial butter industry, but also by small producers. One of the most informative books of its kind. Note: This public domain edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface.
