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.

[@AwareHouseChef]

Thank you Rohit! I am a big fan of Buffalo milk. I truly love it when I eat buffalo burrata. I can imagine that that would add an amazing flavor to the food. I will keep an eye out for it! All the best!

Ghee is clarified butter, which you can make at home. Slowly melt the butter. The solids will sit on the bottom. Pour the clear butter into a jar. Great for lobster and other dishes.

[@varsharao86]

Omg no wonder I was not able to get the same taste. I came to US two years back and since then I've tried all kinds of butter for a pain bread and butter that I used to eat back home and I hadn't got the same taste I used to back home with Amul butter. Because of your comment I got to know that it's because they use bufallo milk as well 🤣🤣🤣🤣 thank you for that. Next time I go to the indian store m going to pic up a pack of amul butter

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. I am blessed to be able to raise all my own meat and have not had to buy in a store for thirty years.

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. It’s comparable to the flavor of Kerry Gold.

There are also some French butters that are pretty good and Plugrá which has a French name but it is made in the US. I think one butter that has not received enough attention is the type that is made on the island of Corfu. The island in Greek is called Kerkyra, so the butter is named voutiro Kerkyras. It smells and tastes great because of the feed and the process with buttermilk.

Kerrygold and Horizon organic butter are my 2 favorite butter available locally. The darker gold the butter is the better it tastes. 😋 however I can see a seasonal difference in kerrygold. It turns lighter and the flavor wanes in the winter months, the supplement grain and hay then. And in the spring and summertime it darkens up and is fantastic. Personal opinion ghee is wretched stuff that smells like a barnyard when it gets hot, trust me I grew up raising cows. None in my house. LOL Thanks for a good video.

[@rosezingleman5007]

My pancreas is mostly non-functional and my doc told me that coconut oil is metabolized differently than dairy butter. I get it a kind from Healthy Traditions that doesn’t taste “coconutty” and blend it with the very best butter. Still yummy. 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.

[@catherinewhite2943]

Kerry Gold dies have a great flavor but I find it is less... buttery, if you will, for cooking with. Once melted in a pan it acts differently from other butter; watery-er and less slide-y. Use it for a fried or scrambled egg and you will get sticking. So for cooking use Cabot.

Kerry Gold is my wife's favorite (mine as well, minus the cost, lol). I like it, but cannot help but think it's only tastier because of a higher salt content? Having grown up on a farm and making our own butter, I know salt plays a big part in the flavor. Kirkland brand for recipes calling for lots of butter due to the cost per lb.

[@AwareHouseChef]

I think that butters that start with a fermented cream taste significantly better than those that are not. At my Costco, they sell both salted and unsalted kerrygold. The unsalted tasted better than standard salted butter. Also, one or twice a year, Costco sells the kerrygold butter for $4 less per pack. I usually get a six month supply then. Cheers!

I think the key to having good grass fed beef is the genetics, wagyu for instance has a specific gene that’s responsible for making all the 300% or so more Mono unsaturated fats that wagyu has compared to something like angus, better selective breading programs could make high intramuscular fat grass fed beef a real possibility

Lots of great information in the video George AND in the viewer comments (I am going to try and get Amish butter and may look for 'Amul' at a specialty store). Not to start a debate, but lately I have been reading a lot about cows and their impact on greenhouse gas emissions. Based on your video, I am guessing that 'grass-fed' cows are fewer and more spread out than their 'corn-fed' counterparts so choosing butter made from grass-fed cows is a small step towards being more environmentally conscious (short of giving up beef and butter totally)?

Hey mike! Thanks for reaching out. I am not sure if a corn based diet causes more methane production in cows I believe that's the reason why there is a greenhouse emissions issue with cows.

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.
