A simple, ancestral kitchen ritual using just one ingredient
Making your own homemade butter is a deeply grounding, back-to-basics kitchen ritual that reconnects you with real food in its purest form. Using nothing more than quality heavy cream (and optional Celtic salt), this method transforms a humble ingredient into rich, nourishing butter — free from additives, emulsifiers, or preservatives.
This is a beautiful reminder that some of the most nourishing foods are also the simplest.
Why Homemade Butter Supports Wellness
✨ Pure & Additive-Free
Homemade butter contains no fillers, vegetable oils, or stabilisers — just real dairy.
✨ Traditional Fats for Satiety
Natural butter provides fat-soluble vitamins and supports fullness and flavour satisfaction.
✨ Gentle on Digestion
Fresh butter made from quality cream is often better tolerated than ultra-processed spreads.
✨ Mineral-Rich Option
Adding HH Celtic Salt supplies trace minerals and enhances flavour naturally.
Homemade Butter Recipe
Ingredients
-
300ml heavy cream
(For larger batches, simply double the amount) -
Optional: HH Celtic Salt (for salted butter)
-
Bowl of ice and water
Method
-
Pour the heavy cream into a mixer and mix on medium–high speed.
-
Every few minutes, scrape down the sides of the bowl.
-
As the cream thickens and buttermilk begins to separate, place a towel over the mixer to prevent splatter.
-
Once the buttermilk has fully separated, transfer the butter directly into a bowl of ice and water.
-
Allow the butter to stand for a few minutes, then gently press and rinse to remove excess buttermilk.
-
Place the butter onto a baking sheet.
-
Sprinkle with Celtic salt (if using) and gently combine through.
-
Store the butter in an airtight glass container or a butter bell.
Storage

Store in the refrigerator for 2–3 weeks
