Urfa butter (Turkish: Urfa yaği), also called Urfa clarified butter (Turkish: Urfa sadeyaği), is a type of clarified butter made from sheep's milk that is distinct to the Turkish city of Urfa and the surrounding region.[1]: 1–2  It is produced from the milk of the Üveysi sheep pastured on the southern outskirts of the Karaca Dağ and on the Tektek Dağ.[1]: 1–2 [2]: 9  The plants growing in these hilly regions form part of the sheep's diet and impart a slightly distinct flavor to their milk.[1]: 1–2  Like other sheep's milk products, Urfa butter has a high percentage of milk fat.[1]: 1–2  Besides Urfa itself, Urfa butter is also made in other parts of Şanlıurfa province, such as Siverek, Viranşehir, Ceylanpınar, and Harran.[1]: 1–2 

Production

[edit]

There is no single, standardized production method for Urfa butter, so its composition and fat content can vary somewhat depending on the sample.[2]: 12  The sheep are milked in the spring, and the milk is boiled.[1]: 1–2  Then the milk is churned to produce butter, which is then melted to separate the butterfat from the milk solids and water.[2]: 9  Today the clarifying process is done by machine, but in the past it was done manually in containers made from animal skins.[1]: 1–2
