Product: Iranian Edible Butter for Export
General Introduction
Iranian export edible butter is a natural, high-quality product derived from the heart of the country’s modern and traditional dairy farms, made by processing fresh, pasteurized cream from cow’s milk. Benefiting from lush pastures in the northern and northwestern regions, fertile plains, and an extensive milk collection network from industrial and semi-industrial farms, Iran has become a prominent producer of dairy products in the region. Iranian butter, with its rich taste, pleasant aroma, and smooth, uniform texture, has secured its place in the markets of the Middle East, CIS countries, Central Asia, Africa, and the Persian Gulf states, and is recognized as a natural and wholesome product for household consumption, confectionery, and the food industry.
