Butter in five languages

What it is

Churned milk fat, used for spreading and cooking. It is one of the most energy-dense everyday foods, so it is normally counted by the teaspoon or by the pat rather than per 100 g.

Calories

As a rough guide, Butter is about 717 kcal per 100 g — almost pure fat. Treat that as an orientation figure: the exact number depends on the brand, the fat content and how it is cooked. For a precise figure, look the specific product up in a food database.
