The other butter has no real flavor beyond oiliness. It's fine for some weekday blondies to bring into the office, and in some ways better for things like cake where you don't want the butter to shine through too much, but if I'm making labor-intensive baked goods, I'll spring for the Euro butter unless there's a compelling reason not to. I don't use much butter when cooking, and when I do, the calories are the splurge, so I always cook with Euro style butter when I cook with butter. Amish butter is also good and flavorful, and I'll use it when the softness of European butter is an issue.

Land of Lakes makes a European style that will go on sale to the same price as the regular LoL sometimes (from like 6.5 to four bucks, plus it'll be part of the buy 5 save 5 thingy), that's when I buy a few pounds to freeze. It's not as good as the kerrygold but it's better than normal LoL or store brand.

European style butter tastes slightly sour while standard American butter tastes sweeter. If you wish for a slightly more sour note in your dish go for European style otherwise use your usual butter.

Qualitywise there shouldn't be any difference. In Europe actually fermented butter is rare, because it is more expensive to made. Usually the fermenting bacteria are added to sweet cream butter to simulate the taste. I.e. Kerrygold isn't actual fermented butter.

It's not bad for baking, just doesn't improve the result so why spend the extra. Get a nice european salted butter for the table and get cheap unsalted for your baking.

Europeans don't know what "European butter" is because there is obviously no need to market it as such or differentiate it from other shittier types of butter if it's the only kind being sold in the first place.

>> No.14003820

That depends entirely on what you're making. You can definitely taste a difference with croissants and other pastries that contain a ton of butter.

>because there is obviously no need to market it as such
So you agree with me, then?

>> No.14004009

>>14003851
No. There is no need to market it as such IN EUROPE, because it's the only kind of butter being sold there anyway. In America the name actually makes sense, since it allows customers to differentiate it from American butter, which has a lower fat content and is made using a different process.

>> No.14004047

European "style" is pointless. Butter that's imported from Europe is worth it because Euros still feed their cows grass instead of corn and soi
