BUTTERMILK FLAVOR.

If more cream or butter is obtained by rapid cooling, we think it is

because more particles of caseine are entangled in the cream and remain

in the butter when churned. This would of course make more weight for

market, but of inferior quality and sooner to go off flavor. But where

the butter is consumed fresh from the churn, this does not matter

so much; and if the particles of caseine give the butter a slight

buttermilk flavor, it pleases some palates that have been educated

to like it. We, however, prefer the sweet, delicate flavor of cream

butter, free from caseine or lactic acid. But, if one has a special

line of customers, he must please them, whatever the demand may be. If

the butter is thrown on the general market, and there is liable to be

delay in getting it into consumption, it cannot be made too pure, nor

retain its rosy flavor too long.
