is pr course highly important, for a
saving Of ever a fraction of a per cent
means much to a large creamery in the
course Of a year..
Second: It is thought that butter
made from properly ripened cream has
better keeping properties than that
made from cream Improperly ripened.
This factor. however, is one of no very
great Importance and, moreover. is
perhaps a little uncertain.
Third: BY far the most important
purpose of cream ripening is the pro-
duction in the, butter of a desirable
flavor and aroma. It has been dem
onstrated over and over that butter
made from unripened cream lacks the
peculiar favor and aroma which are
characteristic of high grade butter.
and that these characters appear as
the result of the ripening. It has been
proved beyond question, also, that the
character of the flavor and aroma Is
dependent upon the character of the
cream ripening. If the ripening Is not
satisfactory, the flavor and aroma Of
the butter are sure to be inferior.
The importance of this factor in
butter making for u creameries is
very great indeed, more SO than is
commonly appreciated by butter maxi
ers. When we remember that the
price of butter in the market depends
largely upon the favor, we can easily
appreciate how much the butter max
er is dependent upon this process Of
cream ripening. Butter without flavor
or with bad flavor brings a price in
the market which hardly pays for the
making, while a product with a good
flavor and aroma will sell for at least.
three or four cents q pound more, n
the exceptionally fine favored product
of special creameries brings a fancy
price two or three times that of POOR
butter. The flavor will add at least
two or three cents, and sometimes one
third or even one-half, to the price
which could be obtained for poorly
favored butter or for butter without
flavor. In ordinary dairying, then.
the success or failure of a creamery
business will be in q large measure de-
pendent upon this factor. A creamery
which fails to ripen its cream properly
fails to get a desirable flavor in its
butter. It inevitably obtains a low
price for its product, and may hardly
meet expenses, while a neighboring
creamery, that is more successful in
it's rea ripening. obtains a good
favored product, and consequently a
price for its butter which makes the
business a financial success. This mat
ter is of more significance today than
in earlier years, because our butter
making Is coming to be concentrated
in large creameries.
