I don't normally comment but since you went all the way and manually churned butter, I had to say something. Thank you! Awesome vid, very thorough.

[@Cheese52]

Thanks for appreciating the labor that goes into making butter at home! I'm so glad you enjoyed the vid! Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Hi Lisa!!! As you know we are huge fans of homemade cheeses and it seems to me that we will be heavily addicted to homemade butter. I like both techniques. The manual one has an obvious advantage: an additional gym feature:-) It is great to know about this option. Thank you for all the hints and tips. Usually we eat unsalted butter. Is it OK if we just make butter without any salt? Congrats on achieving a major subscriber milestone. My apologies for missing the celebration party. We have been deviated with summer travelling:-) You never run out of new ideas. I admire your creativity. Say hello to YumYum. Happy cooking!!!

[@Cheese52]

Oh yes! That little butter churner provides quite the workout! You can make unsalted butter, in fact it's preferable for cooking. Salt is a preservative so unsalted butter doesn't keep as long, but you could always store it in the freezer. So glad you two had a fun packed, travel packed summer! And thank you so much about the milestone. It was a pretty exciting day for the two of us. Hi paw from YumYum! 🐾

[@JoColours]

Thank you so much for uploading these videos, Lisa! You really show and tell everything very clearly - so I finally feel confident enough to try my hand at cheese making soon. I do make my own butter regularly, but learned it in a slightly different way - which seems to be the European way ( I'm Dutch :) ). I start out with 1 liter of cream and 130 ml of yoghurt. Mix them well then leave at room temp with a damp towel over the bowl for 24-48 hours. The result is sour cream, which you can then use as sour cream (keep it in the fridge) or to make butter from it, the same way you do.

[@Cheese52]

Ah, yes, cultured buttermilk is more common in Europe than the US. I've never tried it, and I am interested in the process you just described. I'm going to try it this weekend. Thanks for the recipe! I really think cheese making is the natural next step for you. Let me know which one you choose to try first. I am so glad you enjoy the channel and that you find value in it. Happy cheesemaking! Lisa

I skim the top from raw milk -don’t have any equipment- old school shake in a mason jar-so yummy😋Now I need a pretty mold!

[@Cheese52]

Raw milk - Lucky you! So many ways to make butter- and the mason jar way is great for sure! I like to roll it on the floor- like in the video,- so my arm doesn't get so tired :) The old school butter molds are so cool, and it's a fun treasure hunt to find one. I found mine on ebay. Happy hunting!

Can i buy any heavy whipping cream from the super market or i buy it fresh? Also im so impressed from how consistent and accurate you are in your video im always into making cheese but its very hard and i tried before the mozzarella and i failed but i think i will give it again a try 🙂🥰 thanks for your effort

[@Cheese52]

Yes you can. I buy mine in the dairy section of the super market. The fat percentage should be 30-35%. Hope that helps!

[@ErikYewell]

As for the salt, I think 1-2% by weight of the final butter weight is a good start for weight of salt in salted butter. I have had butter from Brittany France that had 3% salt, and that was the top range of the amount of salt I could stand. Btw, 1% salt by total weight (2% by flour weight) is the amount of salt in my bread recipes. And a quick search on salami show it is about 1.7% salt by weight.

[@Cheese52]

Good information. Thanks!

[@richardshort4587]

Just made some this weekend whilst at my daughters house as she has the KitchenAid Mixer. We mixed the whipping cream straight from the fridge and it took exactly ten minutes to separate the butter from the cream. All we can get is 33% fat cream 😩 The grandchildren love it, doesn't last to long around those hungry munchkins 😂

[@Cheese52]

Perfect. Sounds like a wonderful weekend activity with your family. How fun!

[@richardshort4587]

Cheese52 Very true, gotta make those memories with the children and teach them at the same time. We never know when it could be a necessity in life they have this knowledge and not be reliant on shops or grocery stores. Thanks for all you do. Subscribed

[@natashagreen-chillaxedprod7769]

What is heavy whipping cream called in Australia

[@Cheese52]

In Australia, heavy cream is commonly known as thickened cream. You are looking for cream with a fat percentage of about 35%. Hope that helps! Lisa

[@salomonabraham6255]

How long does the butter last?

[@Cheese52]

A day or two on the counter, a couple of weeks in the fridge, and several months in the freezer. If it is unsalted, it will not last as long on the counter or in the fridge.

[@hewhomustnotbenamed6564]

Pls make a video on how to home make heavy cream

[@Cheese52]

Hmm, heavy cream to me is an ingredient rather than a type of cream or cheese-like product. Can you be more specific?

[@bludhaven8634]

You have to either own a cow or have the ability to get fresh milk. It's made from the high-fat part of the milk. When it is left to stand, a heavy cream rises to the top and can be scraped off. I think you can get away with buying pasteurized, NON-homogenized milk like she uses in the cheeses. (which makes sense because it would have to be done like that to be safe for commercial sale). But growing up we only used fresh milk.

[@Cheese52]

[@Cheese52]

Hi! Cream naturally occurs in milk. To get the cream from the milk, you would need a cream separator, or purchase cream lined milk, like the milk I use in most of the videos and skim it off the top. Hope that helps!.

[@continuousself-improvement1879]

What if you want to use the butter but the recipe calls for unsalted?

[@Cheese52]

No problem! Just dont add the salt. I would recommend that the butter is used/consumed within a few days or frozen for later use. Salt is a preservative as well as a flavor enhancer, and without it, your butter won't last as long.
