Reports from Denmark detail a new butter packing process using a ster churn with external temperature control and built in gauges. Butter flows directly into casks or cartons, weighed to a gram, then rests a day to achieve a firm, low water content. The system promises hygienic handling and uniform consistency, reducing cavities and mould risk in packed butter.
