Buttermilk was originally the liquid left to remove cultured or fermented cream butter. Traditionally, before the cream was degreased into whole milk, the milk was left for a period of time to allow the cream and milk to separate. During this time, bacteria that naturally produce lactic acid in milk fermented. This promotes the process of folding the butter because the fat in a low pH cream is added more easily than the fat in fresh cream. The acidic environment also increases shelf life by preventing the growth of potentially harmful microorganisms. However, in facilities using a cream separator, the cream was hardly acidic. Rich in potassium, vitamins, especially vitamin B12, calcium and vitamins, carbohydrate proteins and fats used for the breakdown of riboflavin, buttermilk blocks extra fat and helps maintain weight.
