Great comparison as always - thank you. Lately I have started having a liking for butter from India - a distinct buttery taste. Amul is the name of the brand that you might be able to procure at your local indian grocery store. Their butter have a combination of cow and buffalo cream, which gives it that unique flavour. As for Ghee, we use it exclusively for cooking (we make it at home with organic cultured butter), especially when you add a dollop of it after finishing a sauce or stew. These stores will have a great selection of Ghee as well - keep an eye out for the Amul Ghee brand as well. Great topic, and so much to dive into :-) Thank you as always.

The “silage” that Kerry Gold feeds their cows in the winter is not corn free. Their website says as much (or did last time I checked). Because I’m so allergic I had to give up on it. Finlandia (the cheese company) also makes a pastured butter that I don’t react to. I buy it in the summer months at Bj’s Membership store in Northern Virginia but it’s likely available elsewhere.

I make my own butter from either my cow who hangs out in the pasture eating whatever she fancies or cream I buy from our local Mennonite dairy. I’m not real clear on the purpose of ghee other than it being a religious thing on what you can and cannot consume and dairy being one. But to me once you cook the milk out of it you no longer have butter you only have oil but it is shelf stable which butter isn’t.

Many “pastured” cows are still fed “silage” which can be shredded corn stalks, and grain waste in winter. One fact that shocked me is that “grass fed” in the US can still be 40% grain fed. Because I’m allergic to corn I get mine from a corn free farm in Florida: Circle C Farm and they ship pretty cheap. The beef, pork, and chicken are all corn free and tastes AMAZING.

On another Chanel, an MD, indicated that the butter from grass fed cows has a higher ratio of Omega 3’s whereas the “normal” butter has more Omega 6 fatty acids. I bought Kerrygold when I was visiting the US last year. I didn’t find it any better than the Canadian premium butter (Thornloe, Emerald, Churn 84, or Petite Rivière) to name a few. I don’t know if Churn 84 is grass fed but I’m pretty sure the others I mentioned are. Furthermore: you think $6/lb is expensive!? That’s the normal price for the poor grade stuff at a grocery store here. And BTW: that New Zealand butter is (now wait for it): a whopping $28+/lb here!! And once again (taste wise) not any better. Next point: wouldn’t all ghee be “lactose free”? Ghee is simply pure butter fat. The milk sugars make up the bulk of those caramelized bits at the bottom of the pot when you make ghee. That, and the salt, and a few milk “solids” of course. I’m not a “butter expert” but I use an awful lot of it everywhere from in coffee forward. No toast though: I’m strictly ketovore.

I went to college in Wisconsin from 1979-83, and it was still illegal to serve margarine in restaurants. Fun fact: In the early 1900s margarine was sold in stores dyed PINK so consumers would know it wasn’t real butter!

I've always found it amazing that every chef, nutritionist, dietician, etc push natural foods then the producers jack the price up so high that the average consumer can't afford it on a regular ongoing basis even though it is so much better for you. Add a couple of kids with healthy appetites in the mix, and we're done. Sixteen dollars for a pound of butter? No, thanks.

I realize the economics. That is why I feel the kerrygold butter offers the best value. It is more expensive than traditional butter but also far healthier. I wasn't a big fan off the more expensive butters anyway. Cheers.

Kerrygold butter is so soft, it's annoying. I often wonder how, of all the butters on the market, the Kerrygold is the softest. Do they add an oil? In fact, it becomes so soft if left out in summer, that it becomes liquid and I am reminded of the fable of little black Sambo and the tiger that melted down to butter which he took home to his mum from which she made pancakes. Now THIS is a rare butter. If fact, I think it is no longer available. Probably gone extinct, like some of the tigers.
