The store butters I buy are: Kerrygold (from Ireland) and Kalona Supernatural (from Iowa; this is my preferred butter, it is organic, from grassfed cows, and the salt in it is Celtic sea salt which is the same as I buy for our food). Not cheap, though; $6.50-$7/pound. But I look at our food budget as a preventative measure for our health. I don't buy any butter that has added oils.

The Healthy Home Economist is exactly who I was referring to!Im sorry im a little off topic from where to place your butter dish, but im very curious exploring this buttery topic; <br />We are friends with people that their job is literally selling butter. They told me once that the best butter you can buy contains just cream and salt, thats it. Anything else is completely unnecessary. What is your opinion pertaining to this and about butter that contains just that and an oil, like, canola or olive? and if you buy butter from the store, what do you persoanlly buy?catnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313009931298256746.post-86861255677910374632012-09-12T12:57:58.035-06:002012-09-12T12:57:58.035-06:00Hi Cat,

I tried it once, but our raw dairy farmer sells raw butter for cheaper than I could make it using his cream, so I may as well buy his instead! Still not cheap, though, at $10/pound.<br /><br />If you're referring to Sarah the Healthy Home Economist, yes I know of her! I follow her excellent blog as well.Sarah Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01348347054374584427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313009931298256746.post-75929119876429261512012-09-12T08:06:38.245-06:002012-09-12T08:06:38.245-06:00Hey Sarah!

I just...Hey Sarah!<br />Im totally glued to your blog!! <br />I just read a few months back about how to make your own butter using raw grassfed cream. Super Easy! I havent tried it yet, but Im itching to. I havent figured out how to get a hold of raw cream, but you can also get raw milk and separate it :]<br />I actually saw it on another healthly blogger thats also tied to Westin A Price. AND her name is sarah too!<br />Have you tried this method?catnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313009931298256746.post-20668546232489296142012-09-09T12:49:33.124-06:002012-09-09T12:49:33.124-06:00I leave mine out, raw or Kerrygold. The raw stuff ...I leave mine out, raw or Kerrygold. The raw stuff I only get in the summer and summer butter is softer anyhow, so I put out half a pat (ours comes in 250g blocks) at a time. Otherwise unwrap, dump, lid, shelf. Sometimes it melts a bit and we have butter in a puddle of butter oil, but that's not terrible. Now and again my husband's upbringing overcomes him and I find the dish in the fridge, but generally he lets me be the crazy kitchen mistress however I see fit! At the rate we go through it any clabbering hasn't been a deal-stopper.Laurenhttp://www.letospassion.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313009931298256746.post-58954202643900983262012-09-08T08:30:33.763-06:002012-09-08T08:30:33.763-06:00Hi Stephany,

I don't often buy raw butter, as our dairy farmer only sells unsalted butter, and I love salt in the butter.

And I've also noticed occasionally my raw or low-temp grass fed butter will get a funky smell if I open the container too much or let it sit out for a while - now I know why! I still go back and forth between buying real, raw butter, and buying pasteurized butter from the store. What do you do? It often depends on my grocery budget and what I think I'll need it for.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10232747020568969514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313009931298256746.post-40506627339013679052012-09-05T12:50:21.797-06:002012-09-05T12:50:21.797-06:00I've always left the butter out too.

Now THAT goes bad- really bad! horrible, fishy tasting bad. but you're right, pasteurized butter doesn't go bad and tastes the same even after a week or so.

We plop the butter right in the dish, but a quick rinse with hot water gets the dish clean in between , with more thorough cleaning only occasionally. Glad to see that you are a butter rebel too!Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00550951618524958511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313009931298256746.post-85456359670043416302012-09-05T09:45:23.972-06:002012-09-05T09:45:23.972-06:00I take out my butter dish every morning the first ...I take out my butter dish every morning the first time I open the fridge.
