| Buttermilk is the liquid left over after producing butter from full-cream milk by the churning process. It has a slightly sour taste, which is usually pleasant when people are accustomed to it. Most of the modern, commercially-available,
"buttermilk" in Western supermarkets is not genuine buttermilk but rather
cultured buttermilk,
that is milk to which souring agents (Streptococci bacteria) have been added to simulate the original product.
