Salted butter is churned dairy fat with added salt, typically around 1–2% by weight. It contains about 80% milk fat, with the remainder being water and milk solids. The salt boosts flavor and slightly extends shelf life compared to unsalted butter.

Because it already includes salt, salted butter is convenient for spreading and finishing, but it offers less precise salt control in baking and some sauces. It browns and foams due to milk solids, and can be clarified to remove water and solids for higher-heat cooking.
