Unsalted butter

Unsalted butter is a spreadable animal fat used in cooking that belongs to the "Fat and sauces" and "Fats" groups. It carries a Nutri-Score of E and is classified in NOVA group 2, reflecting its high fat (82 g per 100 g) and saturated fat (52 g per 100 g) content, which contributes 745 kcal and makes it energy‑dense. While it contains virtually no sugars or salt and provides a small amount of protein, its very high fat level means it should be used sparingly in a balanced diet.
