Butter (for drizzling, optional)

Description

Drizzling butter is a creamy, velvety fat with a rich, slightly sweet flavor and a light yellow color that creates a shiny, appetizing coating when melted. In its classic form, it mainly provides saturated fat and calories, but also fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as small amounts of fatty acids with beneficial properties; when used in moderation, it can enhance flavor and aid in the absorption of vitamins from the meal. In the kitchen, it is perfect for drizzling over vegetables, bread, fish, and potatoes, finishing sauces and pan dishes, adding shine and aroma. It should be stored in the refrigerator, tightly wrapped to avoid absorbing odors; portions can also be frozen for longer storage. Before drizzling, it is advisable to slightly melt the butter, using it sparingly to maintain a balance of calories.
