Description
The churn was used to process cream and produce butter. The cream was poured inside the churn and beaten vigorously through a vertical movement of the wooden plunger. This process allowed the cream to be compacted, gradually turning it into butter. The churn was indispensable during butter production, a central stage in the activities of the casera, where traditional milk-related processing took place.
