Very interesting article. We have been looking at making our own butter once we get a few more things knocked out first. What type of cows is your butter being produced from? I have not made butter before but I am curious about this. " butter should be made from cream produced just as the cows start on pasture in the spring. The cream is best until the grass starts to go to seed in June"? What is the purpose of this?
The cows our cream comes from are Normandy and Jersey.
The composition of the cream changes when the composition of the grass changes. The early flush grass has a better profile for butter. Once that grass changes and starts to produce seed the composition changes. You can still make butter, but the composition favors cheese making at this point.
Thank you for that.
