Cultured Buttermilk

Cultural Context

Cultured buttermilk has its roots in traditional dairy practices, where leftover milk was fermented to create a tangy, creamy product. It has long been a staple in Southern cooking, used in everything from pancakes to fried chicken. Today, buttermilk is celebrated for its versatility and is often used in baking and cooking, adding moisture and flavor to dishes.
