Ingredients:
Butter is made from dairy cream, while margarine is made from vegetable oil.
Taste:
Butter, because of the fat content, has a richer flavor. Margarine is much milder— meant to mimic the flavor of butter, but only slightly.
Smoking Point
Because of the vegetable oil base, margarine has a higher smoking point than butter.
Nutrition:
For a long time, health experts said that margarine was meant to be better for you than standard butter, but that opinion has changed.
In my opinion, butter is better all around. If you're worried about the fat content, just use it in moderation.
