It's butter that's made from cream which has been inoculated with cultures, which are microorganisms present in fermented dairy products (e.g., yogurt or creme fraiche). It's a bit tangy and tastes spectacular, so it's most popularly used as a "finishing" butter, like on toast or waffles.

The process for making it is simple, but does take some patience. I've used this video as guidance before.
