Re: Butter Smells Like Cheese

[Guest guest]

It's probably gone rancid. When my butter has turned it smells cheesy.

The first raw butter I bought had a cheezy taste. The farmer who sold

it to me and got it from Pennsylvania said it was okay but I could

return it to him. I used it. The second time I got it they had salted

it with Celtic Sea salt and it was not cheesy. Still want it unsalted

and not cheezy.

Can you return the butter?

Thanks Ellen,

I did return the butter and they gave me a refund, no problems. I buy the same

butter all the time and it has never smelt like that before. I had eaten a

little bit of it, but I was a bit worried to go on eating it just in case it was

off. I don't think butter should smell at all.

Bye for now

I have had raw butter with an " off " cheesy taste before. if it is raw

butter, it is still fine to eat (although it may not taste too good!) - it

is naturally " souring " like raw milk does when you leave it out at room

temp, or how it gets after a week in the fridge. If the butter was

pasteurized though, it may not be ok to eat and is essentially molding I

guess.
