@BigRedBuster 'Premium' butters seem to come in three basic categories: high butterfat percentage butters, butters made from cream from grass-fed cows, and butters that are cultured like yogurt and sour cream. My conclusion so far is that butterfat percentage really doesn't make that much difference. More fat can give it a little extra smoothness, but other chemicals found in butter are what's responsible for what you'd think of as a 'buttery' flavor. And using a butter that's extra fatty can throw off a baking recipe that was developed for butters with 'typical' butterfat levels.
