English translation:butter fat with milk flavor
Explanation:
I think 乳感 in this context refers to a flavor characteristic of milk, since butter fat by itself does not provide a texture/consistency of milk at ambient temperature.

Thanks, everyone. I'm not really sure what to make of it, but I do like Kathy's suggestion of using "qualities."

butter lard with a milky texture


Explanation:
乳感: Milky texture, milky consistency
バター脂肪： butter fat, lard

If this is advertising material, maybe something like

"Butter lard with a rich, milky texture."

Good luck!

agree  Steven Smith: agree, except for butter lard. I think you're safer with butter fat.

agree  Yumico Tanaka (X): 乳感 should mean texture or consistency, because if it's about flavour, 風味 will be used. 感 is from感触;To feel and touch>>> texture/consistency

agree  Miho Ohashi: I also think 乳感 here refers to flavor.

  -> Thank you.
agree  KathyT: Me too, and milk texture = liquid, so... Perhaps 'characteristics' or 'qualities' would be a suitable substitute for texture/flavor here...

butter (fat) with fresh, milky flavor


Explanation:
I haven't encountered this expression before, but my guess is that this is trying to convey the freshness of this butter as if it were so freshly made that it still retains some milky flavor. But why does this say バター脂肪 rather than simply バター or　乳脂肪?

Asker: Well, the product is actually margarine. They're using a butter extract or something. I'm not sure...

butter fat with the flavor and texture of milk


Explanation:
I think both flavor and texture affect the sensory evaluation.

What is texture?

Texture is the feeling of the food in your mouth. In practice, texture is not just one thing but lots of different sensations felt at once. Food scientists have tried to categorise different aspects of texture to understand
what gives any item of food its particular feeling in our mouth........Meltiness - how quickly does the food dissolve in your mouth...
