About

Buttermilk is a traditional cultured dairy drink, often enjoyed for its tangy flavor and creamy texture. The classic method of preparation involves fermenting fresh milk with buttermilk cultures or naturally occurring lactic acid bacteria until a slightly thickened and acidic drink is formed. It's a refreshing beverage on its own or can be used as a tenderizing marinade for meats, a base for salad dressings, or a key ingredient in baking to impart moisture and a slight tang to pastries and bread. Buttermilk is frequently enjoyed as a healthful drink, providing probiotics, calcium, and vitamins.
