Traditional

Traditional buttermilk is the liquid left after churning butter from cream—thin, tangy, and flecked with butter traces. Old recipes mean this churn residual, not the thick cultured carton common today. Use in soda bread, marinades, and drinking where specified traditional. Flavour is sharper and thinner than cultured buttermilk. Keep cold; it is perishable.

History

Churn residual buttermilk was the original everyday sour milk drink of butter regions.

Cultured buttermilk largely replaced churn residual in retail while traditional remained a farm product.
