Quality criteria of the product
According to the accepted June 12, 2008 law entitled "Technical regulations for milk and milk products", butter is defined as a product made from cow's milk. Mass fraction of fat in it should be 50-85%.
Quality oil is also not allowed to include fat non-dairy origin.
Unfortunately, the cost of butter is not always a guarantee of its quality and compliance with the above mentioned rules of the Federal law.
In Russian stores you can buy this product for 90 rubles, but it's pretty easy to "stumble" and counterfeit at the price of 150 rubles and more.
