Butter can be made only from cow's milk (this is why people who are makpid on Chalav Yisrael often take any butter). Maybe the milk Tnuva's got is not cow's milk...
Tnuva Eida Chareidit Butter If you are one of the shoppers who usually purchases Tnuva Eida Chareidit butter, you may have noticed the item disappeared from store shelves.
I began wondering and after receiving a number of emails questioning what happened, I spoke to my contact at the Jerusalem-based kashrut agency. The disappearance of the butter is due to a shortage of fresh milk.
The rabbi explained that as a result, a number of items were manufactured of late using milk powder, which simply does not suffice for butter, hence the shortage.
Beginning today/tomorrow, the distribution of butter is expected to get underway and those experiencing the shortage should see the product on store shelves in the coming days.
I once made butter by not paying attention and overwhipping some cream I was preparing. Since I prevent waste as much as possible, I fished the pieces of butter out and put them on matzah with a little salt and ate it. It was rather tasty!
Sometimes the store tells you the country is out of something when it just means their supermarket chain distribution line has run out of it.
About a month ago, Yesh claimed that with matches, around the same time Shefa Shuk said that about one flavor of soup-in-a-cup - their competition had it.
"I mean, if you've got milk, can't you make butter?"
ReplyDeleteOf course you can - just then you can't sell that milk as milk...
Yes, you just change the label and raise the price.
