Butter: La Baratte des Gourmets

[Guest guest]

Well, since Wegmans was out of Kerrygold this time, I tried La Baratte

des Gourmets. This is a traditional churned butter, with Crystal Sea

Salt. It was made from pasteurized milk. It was pricy - almost $6

for the half lb.

When I opened the package I was pleasantly surprised at the intensity

of the color. It is more yellow than my last batch of Kerrygold

(which was paler than usual). There are salt crystals still in the

butter, resulting in a deliciously salty accent to the butter. It is

not as soft as the kerrygold, but still melts almost as fast.

I quite like it. However, I don't think it will be replacing my usual

Kerrygold due to its price.
