Minerva Dairy Gets Fat Off Its Amish Butter

Three things you probably didn't know about Amish butter:

First, it's not necessarily made by Amish people. Amish butter is a term used by the dairy industry, typically to denote butter that is slow churned and has more fat than regular American butter.

Second, it's a huge hit with foodies, who of late are flocking to its rich, complex taste, especially since nutritionists and the general public have come to accept some fats as being better for people than was previously thought.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, a Northeast Ohio company is one of the nation's leading producers of Amish butter, and its sales are booming as a result of the food's newfound popularity.
