Best butter I ever tasted was in a Denny’s restaurant in Ensanada Mexico on french toast. Nothing ever came close after that expierence.

Thanks for doing this! I use a lot of butter and was debating whether or not to just buy a big load of it at Costco. I guess I will, but only if I can find the organic type. It will be interesting to see how it works in baked goods. Oddly enough, I’ve noticed a difference in texture when I switch from brand to brand.

Yes! Further vindication and I don’t even read Cooks Illustrated. Maybe I can get some kind of butter tasting job down at the butter farm. Lol! I get my butter from my local health food coop. There’s a 10% discount and coupons. But, really, I’ve bought butter for $10 a pound before. It’s THAT serious. Lol! I get on my friends’ nerves. It’s so bad that if I go to a restaurant and they offer me margarine I get offended like they offered me rat poison or something. Lol! I have to keep myself I’m check sometimes. ;-0)

Mezabella – even Cook’s Illustrated rated Plugra’s unsalted butter the best. I quote from their web site, “The cream of the crop, this “thick and luscious” cultured butter was “complex” and “just a bit tangy” and “grassy.” Some deemed its flavor the most “robust” of all the samples.” If you happen to have a Safeway nearby, keep your eye out for sales of this butter and stock up!

Mezebella – Your comment made me chuckle. I would swear my husband was making it up too if I hadn’t given him a blind taste test that he passed with flying colors. Ironically, this is the same man that in college ate 4 day old unrefrigerated hamburgers. How are his taste buds so refined and yet he still eats such nasty food if I am not here to cook for him?

Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Oh my goodness. Someone who *gets* me! I have been called a “butter snob” and everyone claims that I really can’t tell the difference between butters and I’m making it up. Well, HA! I’ve been vindicated. I’ve tried everyone of these before- EV-ER-Y ONE. And , yes, Plugra is best, by far. Yes, that pasteurized butter was weird and confusing and I couldn’t eat it. I actuallly thought it was mislabeled. Again, THANK YOU. :-0)

@ Ronda – I tried seeing where I could get this Pasture Land Butter, but alas, it’s not available in CA.
