This point becomes apparent to the buttermaker because a glass observation port on the churn washes clear at each revolution of the churn at this time.

CONT

Ripened cream butter is made using starter-ripened cream. Natural coloring agents (annatto, carotene) may be added.

CONT

It was eventually found that sweet cream could be soured by the addition of naturally soured milk or acid buttermilk. It then became possible to make ripened cream butter under more controlled conditions.

CONT

For the production of cultured cream butter, which is preferred in some areas of the world, appropriate bacteria culture is added to the cream following pasteurization. This culturing or controlled cream ripening process can be accurately monitored with pH measurement as the acid develops.

At favorable temperature, cream subjected to continuous agitation will separate into essentially two parts, butter composed mainly of butterfat and buttermilk... When the butter granules begin to separate, it is said that the «breaking point» has been reached. Churning continues a little longer until the tiny granules adhere into small masses.
