Anhydrous Milk Fat (Butter Oil): A Rich and Pure Dairy Ingredient
Anhydrous milk fat (AMF), also known as butter oil, is a highly concentrated form of dairy fat made by removing all the water and non-fat milk solids from butter. This creates a smooth, stable, and aromatic dairy fat with a rich buttery flavor. AMF is widely used in food processing, baking, confectionery, and traditional cooking due to its purity and long shelf life.
How Anhydrous Milk Fat Is Made
AMF is produced by separating butter into its components and gently removing moisture and milk solids. The result is a golden, clarified fat that contains almost pure milk fat. Because it undergoes careful processing, anhydrous milk fat keeps its natural butter aroma while becoming more shelf-stable and easier to store.
