Lemon butter

Lemon butter is a smooth and creamy spread made from traditional butter combined with fresh lemon zest and juice. This ingredient provides a citrusy, fresh, and slightly tangy flavor that enhances both sweet and savory recipes, making it a very versatile component in the kitchen.

Its origin is linked to European culinary tradition, especially in British and Mediterranean baking, where it is used to add an aromatic touch to breads, cookies, steamed vegetables, and fish. In Latin America, although it is not a traditional product, it has gained popularity in modern cuisine due to its ability to provide a perfect balance between creaminess and freshness.

Regarding its properties, lemon butter combines the healthy fats and smooth texture of butter with the vitamin C and natural antioxidants from lemons. This mixture not only enriches the flavor of dishes but also adds a slight nutritional contribution.

In different Hispanic American countries, lemon butter may also be known as "butter with lemon" or "lemon-flavored butter", although there are not many specific synonyms, as its name is usually adapted directly from the combination of its ingredients.
