Butter "Ecomilk": description, composition, types and reviews

According to the manufacturer, butter "Emikilk" meets all the requirements of GOST. This product has long been one of the most popular in every family, so it must be able to choose. This will help further recommendations and advice, as well as consumer feedback and a short comparative test of various manufacturers.

Briefly about the appearance

Butter has been known since ancient times. According to legend, it was first obtained by nomads. Trying to provide themselves with a sufficient supply of food, they tied special containers of milk to the backs of animals. As a result of constant relocation, the liquid turned into a completely different product, known as butter. "Ecomilk" is one of the Russian companies that produce it and sell it throughout Russia.

Although modern cooking technologies differ significantly from the first ways of manufacturing, the basic principle remained identical. Unfortunately, now the buyer can not be one hundred percent sure that he is getting a quality product. This is due to the fact that some particularly economical and unscrupulous manufacturers replace cow's milk with artificial fats. Such a product with unnatural ingredients can not be called butter by law.

Classification

This cream product is classified according to several basic parameters. Depending on the type of cream, the oil can be:

• Sweet-cream kind (made from fresh pasteurized cream).
• The product is sourish (made from a fermented special analogue, has a specific color and taste).

In addition, the product may be salted or unsalted, depending on the amount of salt in the composition.

Butter "Ecomilk", like any other analogue, is divided into groups with regard to fat content. There are the following categories (by percentage of fat):

1. The traditional version (82.5).
2. Butter (80).
3. The peasant (72.5).
4. A sandwich (61) and a tea (50) variation.

The percentage of fat content in brackets is given in parentheses.

What is the correct composition

• Dry or skim milk.

• Carotene (dye).

As obliges GOST, butter "Pechora" Ecomilk "must contain vitamins A (10 mg / 1000 g), E (200 mg), D (0.05 mg). Their capacity is checked in the laboratory. The presence of carotene, benzoic and sorbic acid should not be higher than the norm established for these nutritional supplements.

How to choose the right oil

When choosing a butter, first of all pay attention to the information available on the package. There should be a percentage of fat content and a composition is written. A natural product includes only pasteurized cream or cow's milk. The cost of the product also plays a role. For example, the traditional butter "Ecomilk", the price of which varies within a hundred rubles, can not be a priori significantly cheaper.

The freshness of the product and its naturalness can be checked by sniffing the product. If there are signs of an unpleasant odor, such a good is better not to buy. At home, the quality of the product can be checked if you put a piece on a heated frying pan. Natural oil will slowly melt, unlike margarine or vegetable analog, which simply burn.

Butter «Ecomilk»: reviews

As evidenced by the responses of customers, this brand is difficult to call a benchmark in the production of butter. Consumers are quite satisfied with the taste, color, smell and packaging. The manufacturer also indicates that the product is made from natural ingredients. However, this is not quite true.

Testing showed that the analysis of the fatty-acid composition of this sample does not comply with government requirements and regulations. Since in butter only milk fat should be contained, such results may indicate the presence of vegetable fats. By the way, on the package there is not a word about it, which indicates the deception of consumers.

How to check the conformity of oil

The quality of butter is regulated by GOST 52969-2008. The product is estimated on a twenty-point scale. In terms of organoleptic parameters, the product is divided into the first and the highest grade. Oil, which received an estimate of 17 to 20 points, is considered the highest quality, and a product with a mark less than eleven points should not be allowed to be realized.

For sale, it is forbidden to allow butter that has a musty or other unusual smell, with mold damage, metallic taste. In addition, the goods with a sticky or loose consistency, and also having a non-uniform color and damaged packaging are subject to write-off. The proportion of this fat should be the required percentage at a humidity of twenty-five percent. In addition, separately check the permissible norm of permitted food additives, flavors, preservatives and vitamins.

In conclusion

Unfortunately, butter "Ecomilk", the manufacturer of which hides all the information about the composition, can not be ranked among the best domestic manufacturers of this product. When carrying out comparative characteristics by specialists among five brands (Brest-Litovsk, Dmitrovsky Dairy Plant, Vologodskoye, Ruszkoe, and Ecomilk), the latter brand had an inappropriate fatty acid composition, which indicates the inclusion of vegetable fats, and this contradicts GUEST. The fatness indicators of all five brands were normal.
