Butter: history
The discovery of butter does not date back to a specific era, this is due to the remote legend that speak about various origins of the product. Some speak of the Shi'ites who inhabited the areas between the Danube and the Don between the VII and II century B.C., some claim it was discovered by the inhabitants of Asian India, as stated in some holy hymns dated from approximately 1500-2000 B.C. Nonetheless it is said that butter was invented in the northern regions especially as butter needs temperatures of approximately 15°C which would be easier to achieve in less hot regions.
Other sources, instead, state that the ancient Hebrews spoke about butter in the Old Testament and that they were the first to develop the art of producting butter and appreciate it for its purely nutritional characteristics and as a food. Whatever its origin, butter had different uses other than as a food, it was used as a cosmetic, as a medicine, and as an excellent treatment oitment.
