Salt is added to butter both to retard and to conceal the deterioration in flavour which inevitably occurs, thus giving it a longer shelf life. The addition of salt also makes it possible to sell a low-grade butter to the unsuspecting consumer. Unsalted butter is sometimes also labelled "sweet butter." Best wishes, Max Prola Cheshire England
