Butter is believed to have originated in ancient Mesopotamia, which is present-day Iraq and Iran. It was likely discovered accidentally when milk was churned or agitated, resulting in the separation of cream from the milk solids. This cream was then further processed to produce butter. The process of making butter spread to other ancient civilizations, including Egypt and Greece. From there, butter-making techniques were passed on to the Romans, who later introduced it to Europe during their conquests. Over time, butter became an essential ingredient in many cuisines around the world.
