I suppose that depends on what worlds you are talking about, but if you are talking about the Americas as the new world, cow butter definitely existed before Christopher Columbus, although we don't have an exact date, since it is believed to have existed since animals were first domesticated. Butter could have developed separately in Europe and India, where there were large herds of cattle.

Let's remember that butter can be made from many animals' milk though, so even in the Americas, Buffalo butter and other butters were probably known. Depending on the butter you are talking about, there may be no real way to tell specifically who had it first, but if you are talking only cow butter, then the old world is the answer.

Why old butter has larger acid value than the new butter?

Old butter has a larger acid value than new butter because over time, lipase enzymes in the butter can cause fats to break down and release free fatty acids. These free fatty acids contribute to the increase in acid value of the butter as it ages.

Why use old and new butter in acid value test?

An acid value test is preformed on butter to gauge the levels of free fatty acids. Butter when fresh is in the state of being a triacylglycerol, 3 fatty acid chains attached to a glycerol backbone. When a butter ages it undergoes a process of oxidation called lipolysis. This is where the fatty acid chains split from the glycerol backbone the result of which is the formation noticeably off flavours being present in the butter. Hence the point of using old and new butter is that the old butter should have a higher acid value than the fresh butter.
