Butter

Butter is a solid dairy product made by churning fresh or fermented cream or milk, to separate the butterfat from the buttermilk. It is generally used as a spread on plain or toasted bread products and a condiment on cooked vegetables, as well as in cooking, such as baking, sauce making, and pan frying. Butter consists of butterfat, milk proteins and water.

Most frequently made from cows' milk, butter can also be manufactured from the milk of other mammals, including sheep, goats, buffalo, and yaks. Salt such as dairy salt, flavorings and preservatives are sometimes added to butter. Rendering butter produces clarified butter or ghee, which is almost entirely butterfat.

Butter is a water-in-oil emulsion resulting from an inversion of the cream; in a water-in-oil emulsion, the milk proteins are the emulsifiers. Butter remains a solid when refrigerated, but softens to a spreadable consistency at room temperature, and melts to a thin liquid consistency at 32–35 °C (90–95 °F). The density of butter is 911 g/L (0.950 lbs per US pint).

Bread and Butter tradeshow

Bread and Butter (shortened to B&B) is a trade and fashion show for everyday clothing and streetwear. It was established in 2001 and is held annually in January and July during Berlin Fashion Week. It is a leading trade fair for ready-to-wear fashion.

History

The show was initiated by German entrepreneur Karl-Heinz Müller and premiered in July 2001 in Cologne-Deutz. It was initially conceived as a bi-annual event "for the progressive, contemporary clothing culture", targeted to a German audience, as a parallel event to the jeanswear show Interjeans. From 2003 until 2007 it was held at Gartenfeld in Berlin. It had a spin-off in Barcelona since 2005 and completely relocated there in 2007. Since summer 2009 the B & B tradeshow is back in Berlin and located at the historical hangars of Tempelhof Airport.

The first Bread & Butter spinoff in Seoul, Korea is due to start in 2015. In June 2015, the trade fair was acquired by Berlin-based fashion company Zalando, which intends to open the event for a broader audience as a "fashion festival".
