Stirling Churn 84 Unsalted Butter
Most Canadian butter stops at 80 percent fat.
Stirling Churn 84 Unsalted Butter is a 454 g brick. The creamery calls it the first 84 percent butterfat butter of its kind in Ontario. The only ingredient is cream. A 10 g spoon has 70 calories, 8 g of fat and no sodium.
Barrel churning happens in Stirling, Ontario, with local sweet cream the home page calls 100 percent Canadian. Gay Lea Foods is the parent. The page lists this brick in Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta and Atlantic Canada.
Nothing on the label is a colour or a preservative. Salted butter balls from the same creamery are a different shape.
