Milkfat, also known as butterfat, is the creamy component found in milk and dairy products, composed primarily of triglycerides, along with small amounts of phospholipids and sterols like cholesterol. It is a key element in dairy items such as butter, cream, and cheese, contributing rich flavor and texture. Milkfat is commonly associated with European cuisines, where it’s used in pastries, sauces, and spreads, although its versatility extends globally. Nutritionally, milkfat provides a concentrated source of energy and essential fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K. However, it is high in saturated fats, which are recommended for consumption in moderation to support heart health. Milkfat quality can vary by origin, with pasture-raised sources offering higher omega-3 fatty acid content. While it lends indulgence and richness to dishes, mindful use is key to balancing its benefits within a healthy diet.
