Hi Aubin,

I got this from Organic Valley. They now sell cultured unsalted

butter. I've tried it. It is good.

" All of our farmers pasture, but most of them do feed some grains in

the ration. A rough breakdown is

80% forages (pasture, hay, silage) and 20% grains (corn, soybeans,

oats, barley). Most of our farms are

in northern states as well, so pasture is only available for 7 months

out of the year.

" Butter has a one year shelf life, so look for butter with expiration

dates in the spring and summer months

for the highest percentage of pasture in the cows' diet. "
