I've always been curious, I'm in the north so I don't know. Is it pronounced "H EE BEE" or "Heeb"?

this is my fave

>>14496464
H-EE-BEE

it stands for the founder's name, Howard Edward Butt (legit)

>>14496529
really? you'd think he'd prefer breasts

>>14496433
That butter is shit too if you think US butter is shit. The only grocery store butter worth a damn I've found has been Kerrygold.

meme butter or the best we get in the states?

>>14496433
I worked with a guy who would slice up 3 or 4 tablespoons of butter and drop them in a thermos of coffee. Can anyone explain that shit? It looked fucking disgusting.

>>14496588
D:

>>14496588
Bulletproof coffee. If you're using non salted butter, it seems gross at first, but if you think about it, it's just solid cream, basically.

>>14496588
will admit that a bit of butter in coffee actually does taste nice
but jesus christ, that's way too much
(my mug is about 800ml, i only add a single teaspoon, for comparison)

>>14496595
>it's just solid cream, basically
no, it's just the fat portion of the cream.
you may as well put olive oil in your coffee.

>>14496609
>Some nigger has never clarified butter

>>14496595
Fucking bulletproof coffee. The original calls for MCT oil as well as butter and I'm convinced it was a fucking epic troll by whomever came up with it. If you're not used to it you'll become a passageway for liquified poop for hours with even a tablespoon of the stuff.

>>14496520
oh shit whaddup i literally live in peterborough

>>14496878
huntsville here
kawartha dairy is just the best ever
come up fishing sometime

Bout to butter my coffee

Real butter for me, pale white for thee

based butter boy here

I've been waiting for this thread for so long, you have no idea.

I can't get this on mainland Europe without importing it for expensive but dear LORD this butter is everything you can dream of.

This salted Guernsey butter is unironically the best butter I've ever had and you should 100% try it if you ever get the opportunity.

>>14497241
Is that Amish butter? I remember many Amish communities living near Bird-in-Hand, Pennsylvania.

>>14496588
That man is a pleb
i love bulletproof coffee but it's only good with raw egg yolks in it
i put 3 of them in their with a bit of the egg clear
and most of a stick of butter
(full fat milk too)
it's wonderful
when you get to the very bottom it feels like there's slimy sperm in your mouth a bit because of the egg clear but it's super nutritious
i drink it daily for the last year.

>>14496433
>European style
what does this mean?

>>14496534
A good butt is the foundation to a good body, anon.

>>14496433
i live in america and i get local butter from a farm. it's great.

THere are also these great (though some are a bit dear) brands in my local grocery store (Big Y):
1. Kerrygold
2. Finalandia
3. Presedential
4. Asendorf
5. Plugra

>>14497987
I think it means the butter is more dense. butter in the US has more air in it to make it easier to spread.

>>14498005
Probably because a lot of my fellow Americans are dumb and put their butter for immediate use in the fridge.

>>14496555
best you can get from most grocery stores.

But there are plenty of smaller dairies out there that produce european style butter with higher fat content than what you'll get from the store.

>>14498005
American butter is hardly butter.

>>14498044
most people don't buy that garbage.

>>14498054
That's a country crock of shit, it's one of the most popular brands, at least in the south

>>14498044
Country Crock isn't even butter, shitposter.

>>14498064
>at least in the south
yeah well that is just proving my point further.

Most of the US population is located on the coasts.

What the south does has no impact on most of the US.

>>14498044
Nobody thinks country crock is butter

>>14498044
That's not butter, that's margarine. And it's pig disgusting garbage that only retards and boomers buy.

>>14498054
>>14498074
literal millions of people buy that garbage, you fuckign retard. it doesn't matter if it's only 1% or 10% of all Americans. more people than live in fucking Sweden might be buying this (or other) fake butter products. spare me your fucking cope.

>>14498082
retards and boomers make up a sizeable chunk of America.

>>14498446
Who cares?

That's like caring if retards eat glue. Literally no one gives a fuck because what they think butter is has NOTHING to do with the butter I buy

>>14498446
>>14498044
i
what
euros love margarine, especially old ones
what the fuck are you talking about???

>>14497993
No two ways about it, they all got a rump. But fat tiddies are like the truffles of the lady body community!

>>14496433
I can just go down the block to get butter straight from France and Italy though?

>>14496433
For me it's the Tesco everyday value salted butter, the best churned milk block

>>14498044
that's not butter.

>>14498064
ok, well us new englanders don't eat that shit

>>14496433
STEP ASIDE YOU FUCKING PLEBS

this and

>>14499220
This

Tell us more ButterMan

You clearly know a bunch, and we want to learn

>>14499220
>>14499225
Meh, they're good, but in the US at least it's usually not worth paying the premium you'd need to in order to buy this butter.

If store brand butter is 4 or 5 out of 10. Land O lakes is 6 or 7 out of 10.

Kerrygold would be 8.5/10
Beurre D'Isgny and similar would be 9/10

Local farm fresh butter is 9 to 9.5/10 simply because it's fresher since the good european butters need to be imported and that takes time.

>>14497241
>pasturized
not real butter

I use this for cooking a grass fed raw butter for eating raw

>>14496555
There's better but it's a good for everything so it's basically all I buy now unless I want some really fancy cultured butter for bread.

>>14499506
So what brand of butter would you suggest?

>Beurre d'Isigny is a butter made from pasteurized milk and cream
>aux cristaux de sel de guérande pasteurized cream

from what i can tell, almost all butter uses pasteurized milk/cream.

>>14498044
Not gonna like I like margarine on toast once in a while.

GOAT coming through.

>>14499524
find a farm that sells raw milk and make it yourself!! the butter making process takes a couple minutes

>>14499544
i'll pass

I don't even want to know what farms in this area would charge for that

The closest dairy farm to me charges $4 per pint of heavy cream.

Or $7.99/lbs for butter, or $4.99/lbs when buying more than 5lbs.

>>14499567
those are both good deals if you are buying grass fed local raw dairy. you sound pretty ungrateful.

>>14499524
That guy is a fucking retarded faggot don't listen to him.

Anyway, try paysan breton regular, not the guerande one.

You can also try this if it's available close to you

https://www.granarolo.com/brand/granarolo/dairy-drinks-cream-butter/butter

>>14499579
Oh the butter is good priced.

But $4 per pint is ~$8/lbs for butter, except you have to do all the labor yourself.

I'd rather just buy the butter made from the exact same cream and the labor is done for me, and again, if im buying more than 5lbs, it's even cheaper.

>>14496433
You know you can make butter by just putting double cream in a mixer for like 15 minutes?

>>14499599
desu id get 5 lbs of it because I buy 2 lbs of butter a week.
if you go through a lot of butter you can get a butter crock too. my apartment is too small for all that but thats my plan when I have a larger place

>>14496555
Best I've ever had.

>>14499609
I'd only buy 5lbs during the holidays when i do a lot more baking and cooking large meals.

Easy to use 5-10lbs in a 2 week period around thanksgiving, and again around christmas/new years. Assuming you're entertaining and cooking for a group of people. Obviously 5-10lbs is way too much for a single person to reasonably use.

>>14496464
>>14496529
No, it's Heb. Like quick, let's go to the HEB plus.

>>14499605
Yeah, I'm sure turning store-bought cream into butter gives great results.

Made some cultured butter last week. Pretty incredible.

>>14499898
no one in my city calls it that. and even in advertisements they say "H-E-B"

>>14499908
You think the store imports cream, puts it into vats and injects it's chemicals into it?
It's all done at the farm anon.

I'm sure you're super authentic original farm fresh cream ends up on the shelves aswell

>>14497987
America requires butter to be 80% fat, the EU requires 82%. European style butter should be made with the slightly higher fat content. Otherwise it doesn't mean much and will possibly vary from company to company.

>>14500204
"farm" versus profit maximizing modern agriculture nightmare facility

>I worked with a guy who would slice up 3 or 4 tablespoons of butter and drop them in a thermos of coffee. Can anyone explain that shit? It looked fucking disgusting.
In Tibet, tea is prepared this way.
The fat from the butter keeps your lips moist so they don’t get nastily chapped due to the cold dry windy climate.
My understanding is the coffee prepared this way is a variation on the Tibetan tea, and was likely adapted due to the American preference for coffee.

>>14497611
>Is that Amish butter? I remember many Amish communities living near Bird-in-Hand, Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania and Ohio have the largest populations of Amish by state.
You sometimes even see the Amish in certain parts of Philadelphia, and in Conshohocken at the Ikea.

>>14498044
I’ve literally never tried Margarine and don’t understand the point.
It’s not like butter is expensive.
Is it for jews trying to not eat dairy?

>>14499539
>libs remove my injun waifu
>need butter for baking, have mum pick up some at the store
>she gets LoL
>I jokingly say "I forgot to mention, don't buy LoL, we're boycotting them now for being cucks"

My parents have always been mostly libertarian/apolitical boomers, too busy working etc., until the last 2 years where the fake news and shit flinging was too much to turn a blind eye to. I heard them scrolling the news the other day, saw an article "Transgender woman hosts gofundme for sex reassignment surgery", dad says "bet he looks like a man...*scrolls*.... yep"

>>14499539
>GOAT coming through.
Personally I prefer the unsalted whipped land o lakes, but it’s no longer available in my area. I can now only get the salted.

I like this and Finlandia butter. My store also has Amish roll butter, Kerrygold, a European variety, a few decent non-cultured American varieties, and Cabot, which is recommended by King Arthur Flour. I tried Plugra for the lower price and it went bad on me in the fridge within days of taking it home and opening it several times in a row, so I won't buy it. It has added flavoring anyway.

"Margarine was invented in France by Hippolyte Mèges-Mouries in response to Napoleon III's call for a cheap alternative to butter for French workers and for his armies in the Franco-Prussian war. The first margarine, consisting of beef tallow churned with milk, was patented in 1869. Dutch entrepreneurs at Jurgens & Co., an established butter trader, purchased the margarine patent and popularized its use. Margarine production was limited by the availability of beef tallow until 1902 when Wilhelm Normann in Germany patented a process to harden oils by hydrogenation. This greatly expanded the market opportunities for vegetable oils and the availability of margarine."

It's all Europe's fault.
