Why is it masculine?

Burri (butter) is masculine in Italian because it derives from Latin "butyrum," which was itself a masculine noun borrowed from Greek "boutyr­on," and Italian preserved the masculine gender of its Latin source. The word entered European languages through Greek, which had adopted it from a non-Indo-European source, likely related to milk-making terminology in ancient trade languages.
