I am making butter for the first time. I want to add some salt and oil but don't know which kind of oil, and also how much salt and oil to add. I only used 300ml of cream because that's what I had.

Hi Purtig, I use olive oil extra Virgin in my butter just makes it softer to spread, salt , well just a little taste it to see what you need.

I use the same AB. Go easy on the salt, my first attempt was spoiled because I was heavy handed with the salt.

There is no such thing as too much salt in butter Bedlam. I usually use 600ml cream and add about 3/4 tsp of Murray river pink sea salt flakes. I never add oil.

I agree Dan and I sometimes add grape seed oil as I cannot leave butter out here. Nice to have it spreadable straight from the fridge sometimes.

I have added Rice Bran oil and EVOO. Best to pick an oil that won't detract from the taste of the butter. I add very little salt.

Hi Purtig. I use olive oil from Coles that is extra mild in flavour. 20-25 g per 600g cream. No salt.

I find olive oil too strong. Macadamia or grape seed is my preferred.

It's interesting reading the different things people use.
