What is Natural Butter Flavor?

Natural butter flavor is a type of flavoring used to impart a buttery taste to foods without using actual butter. It is commonly derived from milk or other dairy sources, but there are versions made from plant-based ingredients to cater to vegan diets. The flavor is crafted by isolating and concentrating the compounds responsible for butter's distinct taste.
