Buttermilk Varieties

Liquid Buttermilk
There are two types of commercial buttermilk, cultured and acidified. Cultured buttermilk is made by using a lactose-producing bacterial strain that thickens the milk while the acidified version is made by adding tartaric or citric acid to milk. The acid thicken the milk and produces a sour flavor.

Tips For Storing or Using Left Over Buttermilk

Refrigerate - Buttermilk stores for weeks after the expiration date and works very well for recipes that call for buttermilk.

Freezing - Place buttermilk in 1/2 to 1 cup freezer containers. Thaw in the refrigerator. The thawed milk is appropriate for cooking but probably not for drinking.
