which brand of butter do you buy?

[lilmomma]

I usually get what's on sale. But now I tried Kerrygold Irish butter and I am not looking back. I am going to start trying them all! LOL! Which ones do you like?

[wekick]

Kerrygold because it is grass fed and we just had to start on a grain free diet.

[mnosyne]

Plugra for baking; Strauss for eating; Devonshire unsalted rounds when I find it.

[stilldontknow]

Grahams organic Scottish butter. Rich, creamy and fabulous for making shortbread, tablet many other heart stopping confections.

[Steve]

LOL (this is the only time I will type that in my computer).

[BobB]

Little Old Lady?

[srsone]

Land O Lakes.......

[BobB]

Ah! ;-)

[Cary]

I'm not too picky with butter, but to support local'ish farmers and good animal welfare dairy farming, I tend to pick Strauss or Organic Valley (of course Organic Valley sources differ from region to region)

[italia84]

I usually have two kinds of butter in the house--Kerrygold for most stuff, but if I'm baking something that uses a large quantity of butter, I've been known to buy Land o'lakes or similar.

[BobB]

Kerrygold salted for me and for cooking, Kate's unsalted for my wife and for baking.

[LeoLioness]

Kate's or Organic Valley.

[susanl143]

Kates

[woodleyparkhound]

Kerrygold, Plugra

[shaebones]

For baking Cabots unsalted. For eating Kate's in a tub

[rabaja]

Strauss or Plugra. I go through a lot of butter, mostly Strauss unsalted.

[Delucacheesemonger]

For American-Plugra sweet
For French-Bordier sweet or with algue

[Delucacheesemonger]

Echire French butter from Brittany is available in US and very good

[magiesmom]

Kate's, kerrigold, goat butter

[Mayor of Melonville]

Kerrygold, Lurpak, Plugra

[arktos]

CHALLENGE butter, and it available, their 'European Style' butter which is even creamier.

[gryphonskeeper]

For baking? generic... seriously. But for spreading on my homemade banana/pecan bread I make butter from heavy cream with my ninja. Works great!

[lilmomma]

gryphonskeeper

What is a ninja and how do you use it to make butter from scratch! Cool!

[gryphonskeeper]

Pour in the cream and use the "whipping" paddle, leave it running for a little while, it will go from cream to whipped cream finally to butter.

[srsone]

does country crock count as butter?
we use that sometimes..mostly for everyday toast or english muffins..
or bagels

but i have used kerrygold for cooking before..
and usually i use breakstones non salted butter...for most cooking

[pine time]

+1 for Breakstone's non-salted for baking. Love Kerrygold, too.

[steakman55]

Vermont's Cabot Creamery unsalted

[al b. darned]

My vote, too.

[greygarious]

Me three, where baking is concerned. For health concerns, I switched to Smart Balance for spreading. I wish it were unsalted but suspect that if it were, it would have little taste. As Frankenspreads go, it's pretty good.

[mcf]

Organic Valley cultured butter

[pikawicca]

Me, too. Always nice and fresh, and no added hormones.

[MGZ]

I really like that as well. I wish I could find it unsalted though.

[mcf]

The cultured butter in the gold wrapper is unsalted. Unfortunately, the green wrapper/pastured butter is always salted in my stores.

[JudiAU]

Jersey butter from the farmer's market
Organic Pastures (raw)
Organic Valley (grass fed)

[gaffk]

Keller's all my life. However, I recently discovered Cabot's so when I see that brand I go there now (not widely available in my area). Although we get Kerrygold cheese in my area, I've never seen their butter.

[lilgi]

Kellers here as well, but I haven't tried Cabot's yet. I'll give that one a shot if it costs the same.

[DoobieWah]

Falfurrias Unsalted.

A local brand to Texas. Part of Keller Dairies, (Borden, Plugra, etc.).

Always fresh and creamy.

[ultimatepotato]

Kerrygold (Irish), Lurpak (Danish) or Anchor (NZ) - all sell in London at around the same price point, with Lurpak probably being the most expensive by around 20p.

[mexivilla]

In Mexico local butter is too different than what a Canadian is used to. So it's Anchor or Lurpak. But Lurpack is typically 30-40% more expensive.
