A favorite, fairly easy-to-find brand is Kerrygold, an Irish dairy whose cows are all pastured and whose butter is incredible. I get mine for $2.69 at Trader Joe's, but I've seen it in basic and specialty grocery stores, too (albeit for slightly higher prices). Look for the silver foil (unsalted) and gold foil (salted) packages.
Anchor butter is another tasty one. It hails from New Zealand, land of reliably grass-fed lamb, and I've seen it at Whole Foods for a reasonable price. If you can't find it there, you could always order online in bulk. Just freeze the extras.
Organic Valley has a seasonal pastured, cultured, salted butter that usually appears in spring, which is when the grass is at its greenest. I've had it a few times. It's good and a bit tangy, and it comes in a green foil package. Skip the regular Organic Valley stuff, which gets some grain.
Check farmers' markets. If you've got a dairy stall, you've probably got access to good butter. Talk to the producers about the cows' diet.
Update: It's not 100% grass fed. It is almost 90% grass fed, and supplemented with feed that includes soy and corn per their own website.
yes butter is dairy and therefore made by cows.
Cows make milk from eating grass.
the cows make the millk to make the butter to give to people so they can eat it
You mean God? Well by make the sun and earth normal which makes the grass grow and the cows eat the grass and then we eat to cows
First you have to have sunlight to grow the grass that the cows eat, then the cows eat the grass and produce the milk & cream used to make ice cream.
Yes, Cows cannot eat weeds. Make sure you plant some grass or buy some fodder.
in the fields. she had to milk cows and make butter. she also had to clean the house
Energy and protein. Cows need the energy for their bodies to produce milk and to keep them healthy. They are able to digest grass in their rumens to get the protein and energy for them that can be found in milk.
Butter is made from cow's milk. Pig's milk is only used to feed baby pigs.
Female dairy cows produce milk which is made into cheese, butter, yogurt, ice cream, or pasteurized as milk to drink. In addition, they make bake babies. All cows let out a gas called methane, and they make manure. Other cows are used for their beef, and some hides are used to make leather.
There are no butter cows, butter is made from cream, and the milk of all cows make cream. Butter was probably discovered when transporting cream to a market over a distance, maybe on donkey or camel back. The movement alone will turn cream into butter soon enough, as I discovered after buying cheese and cream from a dairy. After I arrived home, I had a pot of butter in the boot of my car, not cream. Some cows have been selected over the centuries for the creamiest milk, and today, the Jersey cows have the fattest content of all breeds. The locally made vanilla ice cream on Jersey Island beats any other.
Buttercream frosting or icing naturally has a cream colour from the butter in it. The more air beaten into it, the paler it will be, and the softer it will be. The yellow colour of pure butter is naturally stronger if the cows producing the milk are grass fed rather than grain fed. If a pure white frosting or icing is wanted, do not use butter or make a buttercream, but the creamy flavour will be missing.
