It seemed a bit much to make a whole thread on butter, but wasn’t sure where else to put it and indeed, I am a bit of a butter snob. It’s one thing I won’t settle for anything that is not GOOD.
I admit to using several mentioned. Kerrygold for my butter bell. Sometimes the Kirkland grass fed knock off. Kirkland for my baking. I’ve been known to splurge on a loaf of fresh bread and a package of good French butter. I’d love to try the Isigny one mentioned!
We do keep Land O Lakes Canola in the refrig as well - husband prefers that and it’s the best non-stick I’ve found.
Do you have a preference? Agree or disagree with the ones mentioned?
All of the butter in our household atm is Kerrygold. We use it for cooking and baking. Around the holidays Darigold (local) will go on sale & we’ll buy the unsalted for baking.
One of my favorite parts of traveling in France is trying local butters. I have been known to gaze longingly at the selection at the Galleries Lafayette food hall. Isigny was one of the highlights of Normandy butter.
Isigny is rationed at our house as it’s difficult for me to get. I’ve seen many FB and Instagram posts of travelers returning from France with a suitcase full of butter!
A funny “butter” story.
On vacation, we went shopping for groceries. Husband got butter - and he got sprayable butter (or margarine or whatever it was).
We made waffles for the kids, and two of three said they were terrible and they didn’t want to eat them. (Third had no problem at all with them).
At some point I picked up the spray butter thing, and realized husband had picked up garlic butter. The kids were NOT happy with garlic butter on their waffles!
