that is some good stuff
mild tang to it, slight herb tint from grass fed beef, and very rich
3x as much as what?
It is overpriced here, too, but it's imported, so to be expected.
So, butter thread?
I have been getting tillamook and am very happy with it. It's not quite as rich as kerrygold, and it's sweetcream, so it's a different flavor, but very nice and much more reasonably priced around here. It's on par with plugra as far as moisture content, costs much less, and has wonderful flavor IMO, though many want the tangier flavored butters.

If it's very fresh, it'll taste like a rich milk. It's not homogenized, so shake it up before you drink it unless you want to sip on frothy butter-cream. It will develop a tang quickly, so you'll likely taste some, but it shouldn't taste off. If it tastes off, don't ingest.

It tastes no different than pasteurized milk. It also has no more nutrients whatsoever, including all prebiotic, probiotic, and functional food effects. All dairy research and nutrition articles confirm this.

The only benefit is natural adjunct culture for cheesemaking, which leaves fruity, buttery, and alcohol tastes from the heterofermenters and citrate metabolizers naturally in the milk. High cook temperatures of the process, lower moisture content, high salt, and low pH of the finished product make most raw-milk cheese made under good quality assurance safe.

The drawbacks to drinking raw milk are diarrhea from coliforms, listeriosis, Q-fever, and many other ETEC and EHEC infections. These become deadly in the YOPI population (young, old, pregnant, immunocompromised).

lel, I have a fundie relative who ONLY lets his kids drink raw milk. They are also unvaccinated, and he carries a gun everywhere because he thinks the knockout game is real. The kids are nasty little monsters with no social graces, because home schooling and mean, judgmental, paranoid parents teaching them that they're special little snowflakes and the world is too impure for them.

Conservatives are hilarious, about the only good thing I can say is at least they're not spreading measles at an actual school.

If you genuinely think that mass produced butter manufacturers hand-select the herds that they produce their mass produced butter from, and give a single shit about tasting any different to any other mass produced butter, or even that each factory only produces a single manufacturers butter, you truly are the dumbest person in this entire thread. Even worse, you're a pleb and you think you're sophisticated; you're buying a generic mass produced product and you think you're superior to some other guy who purchased a different generic mass produced product. Then you make up grand claims about how your product is "better" than the other product, and weave elaborate theories around it.

Go take a cold shower or something, the only thing I see is a very upset person spouting again and again what he considers to be the truth, maybe hoping it eventually becomes reality.

Again, mass production doesn't always imply shitty product.
Sure the product is standardised, that's the purpose of industrialisation and cheap products are disgusting, you get what you pay for, but there are different quality levels.
A manufacturer certainly won't hand-select the herds but his suppliers have to sign a quality charter if there's one.
The average mass produced product will never be as good as a artisan made one but it doesn't mean all mass produced goods are equally shitty.
