So, what is milkfat?

Milkfat is the fatty component of milk, derived from the cream that rises to the top of fresh, raw milk. It's a natural emulsion of triglycerides, phospholipids, and other lipids. Milkfat is valued for its rich, creamy texture and characteristic flavor, which can enhance many foods. It's often used in the production of butter, ice cream, cheese, and other dairy products. As a source of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, milkfat plays a role in a balanced diet, but it should be consumed in moderation, as excessive intake may cause obesity and related health problems.
