Manteiga, the Portuguese term for butter, is a dairy product made by churning milk or cream to separate the fat from the liquid. Its origins trace back to ancient European culinary traditions, and today, manteiga is a staple in Portuguese and Brazilian cuisine, enhancing dishes with its rich, creamy flavor. Nutritionally, manteiga is composed primarily of fats, including saturated fats, and provides vitamins such as A, D, E, and K. It is energy-dense, making it a potent source of calories. While butter offers some health benefits, such as supporting vitamin absorption and culinary versatility, its high saturated fat content may contribute to increased cholesterol levels if consumed in excess. Moderation is key to enjoying manteiga as part of a balanced diet. Often used in cooking, baking, and as a spread, manteiga adds depth and indulgence to countless recipes.
