Alright, so I had myself a little taste test, lol. Is it weird to have seven different kinds of butter in your fridge? Asking for a friend.

 

Top tier:

Kerrygold - Butter flavor hits you pretty quickly and strongly. Noticeably salty. What butter should taste like.

Vermont Creamery - Rich and flavorful with a nice cultured tang, especially once it's melted.

 

Mid tier:

Aldi Irish butter - Solid medium flavor, faintly grassy, flavor hits more at the end. Good for the price.

Trader Joe's Cultured French butter - Sweet and creamy, a bit like Vermont Creamery (both cultured butters) but clearly not as flavorful overall.

Trader Joe's New Zealand butter - Something faintly odd in the flavor when it first hits, sweet and a bit grassy as the flavor builds, with a nice aftertaste.

 

s#!t tier:

Minerva Dairy - Highest butterfat percentage of any I tried. Has a velvety richness, but a fairly weak 'butter' flavor. Disappointing, but might be useful if you want the texture for something.

Sam's Club Member's Mark butter - Stick of wax with a hint of butter flavor. TBH, I think that's how it is for most American butters. America got lost in the margarine era and hasn't really figured out how to make good butter.

This is the butter I use. Thank you for calling me a trashy butter slattern. I'll just go back over here to my trashy home eating my trashy butter in my trashy old bath robe.

Right now Sam's has Kerrygold for $7.18 for a 1.5 lb package, which is as cheap as you're gonna find it. Grab a package and compare for yourself!

Wow that's a wide range of butter.  Impressive

 

For the past 10+ years I have only gotten Land O' Lakes light butter with olive oil.  If they are out of that particular kind, I get it with canola oil, or regular with olive oil and sea salt.  

 

When I made that switch to light butter back then, I also switched to Turkey bacon and it's the best.

BTW - my favorite thing from Paula Deen is her House Seasoning. I use it on everything. Really versatile basic seasoning.

I've been using a lot of Kinder's seasonings lately.
