Grassfed butter

PalmTreeGal · 06-15-2009, 08:38 PM

My understanding is that grassfed dairy is much higher in CLA and omega-3s, but exclusively grassfed is rare and hard to find in the US. I remember reading that the higher-fat expensive European butters are generally from grassfed cows. Does anyone have any info on this? We don't actually eat a ton of butter and I wouldn't mind spending the extra for it.

Pasture Butter

Organic Valley’s Pasture Butter is a limited edition, rich, delicious, nutritional powerhouse made from the milk of organic cows eating the nutrient dense pasture that grows during May through September. Milk from summer pasture produces butter unusually high in nutritional benefits. Pasture Butter contains elevated levels of beneficial fatty acids - CLA (conjugated linoleic acid), and Omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids in an optimal ratio. In production we add a lactic acid culture to the milk to ripen the cream and bring out the natural sweetness of the butter. Upon reaching perfection in the culture tanks, the cream is churned in small batches. Pasture Butter is churned longer than other butters, lowering the moisture content, and increasing the fat content to 84% butterfat.
Pasture, 8 oz.

I can get this here in Maryland at my local grocery stores. Jeanie

At my market I have a choice of two diaries for butter. The European Style is by far the best of the two. I think it's purely grass fed and salted perfectly.

Hey Jean where in MD....I live in MD....if it's remotely close to Baltimore you would not believe the resources you have available to you for eating healthy,organic and local.

Wow you both live in MD how cool is that...

PalmTreeGal · 06-16-2009, 05:59 AM

Oops I need to change that . . . I moved to Vermont 10 days ago. Hated Maryland, sorry to say. Vermont has great resources as far as natural and local foods, but I have not seen European butter in the stores. In MD I saw it at TJs and Whole Foods but we don't have those here.

Darkfire · 06-16-2009, 06:42 AM

No worries. I don't shop at a grocery store, when I say market I meant the farmers market. Good Luck in your new North Eastern Home!

CindyCRNA · 06-19-2009, 05:48 AM

My local farm I just bought a 1/4 of a pastured cow from just now has pastured butter. $6.50 per 1/2 pound but it looked so lovely and yellow, I have to get some. I was at WF and looked for the Organic Valley brand but didn't see any.

Darkfire · 06-19-2009, 07:08 AM

Well my new source is 10 bucks per pound, 7.50 for winter butter....this for sure grassfed stuff. No wondering. The stuff in the store is gross I couldn't go back to it. I bought some a few months ago and I couldn't eat it....it was just nasty.

PalmTreeGal · 06-19-2009, 09:40 AM

Wow that is pricey! I bought some of the Organic Valley but haven't eaten it yet. The Organic Valley doesn't say 100% grassfed so that concerns me.

Yah it's pricey but....I get to meet the farmer and the cows. It's delivered, it's certified and I feel good about it. To me it's like the difference in Wal-Mart's $10 dollar clogs and a pair of $40.00 Crocs...somethings are just worth it.

Raw butter, pure clean and fresh....$10.00 is worth it. I'll post some pics of it's beauty on July 1.

NurseMonkee · 06-19-2009, 12:08 PM

How does grassfed butter taste?

Does it have a different taste/texture from say, just organic butter?

I am trying to decide if I should buy salted or unsalted. I normally just eat unsalted butter, but am wondering how the taste is of grass fed butter and if it would be best salted?

I dont want butter that tastes like nothing, after all. I want it to be yummy!

Any advice?
This would be my 1st time buying grassfed butter.

CindyCRNA · 06-19-2009, 12:22 PM

This is going to be my first time also but my local farm had pics (I'm a sucker for pics) and it was so golden yellow, I had to try it. I'm picking it up with my beef about July 9th.

PalmTreeGal · 06-19-2009, 01:51 PM

My feeling is that unsalted butter isn't worth the energy! Except for baking of course.

CindyCRNA · 06-19-2009, 03:10 PM

Oh, I hope it is salted. I didn't think of that. I could bring it to room temp and use an immersion blender and blend in some. I do that when i do my butter/mac nut oil blend.

Darkfire · 06-19-2009, 07:43 PM

Unsalted fat is no good to me hehe. The stuff I get now uses Sea Salt. Not sure about my new farmer. I will talk to someone.

I don't know how to describe it right. Store butter is rancid now. It is just a nasty thing, bubbling when heated just scummy on top and unclean. This grassfed stuff is miles better. And the raw is even better than that.

CindyCRNA · 06-19-2009, 07:56 PM

Oh, butter from raw milk. That's definitely not at WF! I would love to try it. I'll have to find a local farmer other than my beef people.

Between this board, Mark and WAP I FINALLLY got the raw milk ppl to give me an ear. Thanks again Sashimi Mark.

So I am going to pay it forward.

A CAMPAIGN FOR REAL (RAW) MILK!

Give it a shot. If I can help in any other way let me know.

frogfarm · 06-20-2009, 07:41 AM

I'm just the opposite way -- can't stand salted butter now, even Kerrygold. All that salt detracts from the wonderful butter flavor!

Dee1904 · 06-20-2009, 07:58 AM

Tropical traditions has the New Zeland grassfed butter 3 8 ounce bars for 12.50. Is this butter OK? The price seems to low to be good.

CindyCRNA · 06-20-2009, 11:17 AM

That sound exciting but I fear mail ordering butter in the summer, if you know what I mean.

DS and I are just the opposite- has to be salted for us. Bought the Kerrygold when I made my 1st trip to the BIG WF store- and it is really great! Will definitely get more.

BikerAng · 06-22-2009, 10:05 AM

Does anyone know if Kerrygold is actually grass fed (all the time)?

NurseMonkee · 06-22-2009, 10:56 AM

Not sure. I had no idea that Karrygold was grass fed. That is what I currently eat.

I am still waiting for my order for salted/unsalted from USWellnessMeats.

They claim it is

BikerAng · 06-22-2009, 11:53 AM

LOL!

I read their site but couldn't really tell if they are totally pastured or if they allow them to graze on the pasture but supplement with corn/soy feed. Oh well, some pasture is better than none I suppose.

NurseMonkee · 06-23-2009, 12:56 PM

I sent KERRYGOLD an email to ask if it is 100% grassfed and if they are given supplemental feed, if so, what was included in the feed.

This is the reply I got:

-----------------------

Thank you for your interest in Kerrygold Cheeses and Butters. Dairy herds enjoy fresh pastures, and are not fed supplemental feed.

I would be happy to send you on some coupons if you care to send me on your address. Below is some additional information on Kerrygold Irish Dairy Products.

Kerrygold Key Benefits

• Kerrygold products are entirely hormone-free.
• Kerrygold uses natural farming methods and centuries-old processes to make butter and cheese.
• Cows are entirely grass fed and only summer milk is used, which is richest in Beta-Carotene.
• Beta-Carotene, nature’s own pigment, gives Kerrygold dairy products distinctive golden color and flavor definition.
• Ireland has the longest grass-growing season in the world, which means dairy herds enjoy fresh pastures
• Ireland is one of the only places left where dairy herds roam free.

Irish Dairy Board Background

• "Kerrygold" is the international brand of the Irish Dairy Board.
• Kerrygold is a cooperative; the milk used to make cheeses and butter come from a vast number of small local Irish farmers that meet Kerrygold’s exacting standards.
• Although it serves a global market with distribution to more than 80 countries and sales approaching $2 billion, Kerrygold adheres to a small farm approach.

KERRYGOLD BUTTER FACTS

• Kerrygold is the number one branded imported specialty butter in the U.S.
• Imported specialty butters are the fastest growing in the butter category.
• In the style of all premium European butters, Kerrygold’s higher fat content gives its butter a distinctive richness that makes it an indulgent treat when spread on bread. It enhances recipes that call for butter.
• Three types of butter are sold under the Kerrygold brand: salted, unsalted and new Garlic and Herb.

KERRYGOLD CHEESE FACTS

• Nine kinds of cheese under six main categories are sold under the Kerrygold brand.
• Kerrygold produces only all natural cheeses made with milk, salt and cheese cultures.
• Kerrygold cheeses are made from grass-fed summer milk.
• Cheeses are distinguished by their rich, golden color, derived from the high Beta-Carotene of the milk.
• All cheeses are hand-selected by highly specialized cheese graders who are chosen for their inherent super-sensitivity to aromas and flavors, then put through a rigorous training and apprenticeship program.
• Kerrygold cheeses are suitable for vegetarians because only microbial rennet is used.

Thank you for your continued support of Kerrygold Irish Dairy Products.

I bought some of this. OMG It was soooo good!

WF had English and Danish butter. I got the English and it was delightful! No raw butter, sadly enough, but I keep searching....

I want to find find raw cream too. Want to make my own clotted cream and you can't do it with pasteurized cream.

I buy my grass-fed beef online, and they offer grassfed butter. I don't eat much butter, but I bought it once, and it's sensational in terms of taste--so MUCH better than the butter we get at the supermarket.

If I had butter regularly, I'd buy it all the time. Their cheese is also phenomenal, but all these things are expensive.

If you check out the online grassfed beef sources, I'm sure you'll find venues that have butter as well.

Demokat · 06-24-2009, 05:06 PM

I love grass-fed butter. I buy Kerrygold, and could eat it by the teaspoon.
