Buttermilk is the liquid left over after producing butter from full- creammilk by the churning process. It has a slightly sourtaste, which is usually pleasant when people are accustomed to it. Most of the modern, commercially-available, "buttermilk" in Western supermarkets is not genuine buttermilk. Rather, it is milk to which souring agents have been added to simulate the original product.
