Favourite Butter

[Britalian]

Usually I use the Danish Lurpak when in UK. Here I like Giani, a lovely, ultra-creamy block from the Veneto. Pricey but worth it.
I haven't used margarine for several years.

When I was growing up we used this French? butter that came in a tin. Wonderful stuff.

On the rear ocations, I do use butter, I also go for the Danish. Hardly suprising. Lurpak is allright, but I get mine from a place called Grambogård, a small dary and butcher co-op that makes some really great products.

Plugra...I make whole blocks of it into ghee and freeze it in cubes.

Your location says Japan. I don't know if you're American or not, but often in the States we are not blessed with the same range of butter options you can find in Europe or elsewhere.

Best I ever had was at Trio in Evanston. I don't recall having the same butter when I ate at Alinea. The lady that made that butter had like 2 cows. I wonder if she's still in business. And I believe it was hand-churned, but maybe not. I know the owner was telling us that it came with notes from the farmer, and sometimes if it was an odd color, she'd explain what the cows had been eating that week, i.e. "Bessie got into a clover patch".
