Butter-flavored oil

Butter-flavored oil is a type of edible oil designed to provide the rich aroma and characteristic flavor of butter, but with the advantage of greater stability and a healthier fat profile. This product is usually made by combining refined vegetable oils, such as sunflower or canola oil, with natural or artificial butter flavorings. It is ideal for cooking, frying, or adding that buttery touch to various preparations without the risk of real butter burning easily.

Its origin is linked to the need to offer a versatile alternative that preserves the typical flavor of traditional butter, but with better performance in culinary techniques that require high temperatures.

Among its properties, the following stand out:

• Greater resistance to heating compared to pure butter.
• It provides a buttery flavor without the creamy texture of butter.
• It usually contains less saturated fat, depending on the base oil used.
• Ideal for recipes that need a lighter butter flavor or for those who wish to control their saturated fat intake.

In various Latin American countries, this type of product may also be known as aceite sabor mantequilla, aceite con aroma a mantequilla, or simply aceite mantecoso.
