Somewhat new to appreciating different butters, but was lucky to find a local store with what seems to be a good variety to try. Any recommendations for what is best from these pics?

[u/kaleidoscope_eyes_13]

Beurre D’Isigny AOP salted is divine

[u/All_Hail_Hynotoad → u/kaleidoscope_eyes_13]

Another vote for this butter. French butters in general are wonderful

[u/kaleidoscope_eyes_13 → u/All_Hail_Hynotoad]

I’m definitely partial to French butters. Never had one I didn’t like. The salt crystals in that one take it over the top for me

[u/sugarsub10 → u/kaleidoscope_eyes_13]

I love their creme fraiche. I bet their butter is so nice

[u/kaleidoscope_eyes_13 → u/sugarsub10]

I’m gonna have to find some of their crème fraiche now!

[u/sugarsub10 → u/kaleidoscope_eyes_13]

I found it at whole foods!

[u/oneandonlygwynniefae → u/kaleidoscope_eyes_13]

The Breton butter and the camargue butter ( both on far left) should be tried as they have been prized literally for centuries as being among the ultimate in butters.

[u/kaleidoscope_eyes_13 → u/oneandonlygwynniefae]

I haven’t had them myself specifically but they both look like fantastic choices! Adding to the must try list

[u/V12-Jake → u/kaleidoscope_eyes_13]

This. I got some this week and it’s been a revelation

[u/kaleidoscope_eyes_13 → u/V12-Jake]

The salt crystals are literal magic. So so good

[u/Nisagent → u/kaleidoscope_eyes_13]

Was going to tell op that as well, best butter I have tried.

[u/TikaPants → u/kaleidoscope_eyes_13]

I bring my mom two packs when I visit

[u/Puzzleheaded-War4385 → u/kaleidoscope_eyes_13]

Does Publix have it?

[u/kaleidoscope_eyes_13 → u/Puzzleheaded-War4385]

I have no idea. Sadly I don’t live in the Publix area

[u/Expensive-Ad-3702 → u/Puzzleheaded-War4385]

No.

[u/SignificantDark4749]

Les Prés Sales Butter with Camargue Sea Salt, a rich 82% butterfat Belgian butter flecked with coarse sea salt crystals from France

[u/Competitive-Rule-276 → u/SignificantDark4749]

I second this! It’s so good you could cut a slice and eat it like cheese!

[u/HwatWhatWut → u/Competitive-Rule-276]

That’s how you end up on TLC

[u/SignificantDark4749 → u/HwatWhatWut]

Worth it

[u/An_thon_ny → u/SignificantDark4749]

I gave some to my grandmother for her birthday 🎉

[u/SignificantDark4749 → u/An_thon_ny]

You must really love her! ❤️

[u/djSush]

Omg, at first I thought this was YOUR fridge! Lol

[u/spookysaph → u/djSush]

I thought it was a completely different sub also lol

[u/txtw → u/djSush]

Same, was jealous!

[u/ohnoitsme7890]

I'd start with whichever had the highest fat content, and go from there. I've heard plugra is good, but I haven't tried most of these

[u/nicholaschubbb]

Beurre disigny is my favorite but there’s several different options and some I felt like I needed to add a bit more salt. The one I don’t add salt to has dark blue wrapping but I don’t think they have it there.

The pres sales one is almost cheese-like and has a more mushroomy(?) flavor than “normal” butter. I didn’t like it on bread but on a cracker it was pretty good imo

[u/Logical_Warthog5212]

Isigny Ste Mere! TBH, any of the French butters. Even President is better than the Plugra and Vermont Creamery. President is even better than Kerrygold.

[u/stefanica → u/Logical_Warthog5212]

And then get some of the Bulgarian sheep cheese...

[u/9Trevor9 → u/Logical_Warthog5212]

I notice the President says Product of Brazil. I assume then it is from Brazilian cows?

[u/dosi5644 → u/9Trevor9]

My recent purchase of this butter was product of Brazil also. I did not find it better than supermarket butter.

[u/Logical_Warthog5212 → u/9Trevor9]

Then scratch that. I’ve only had the President imported from Normandy.

[u/cgourdine]

d’isgny always

[u/Big-Wave-2977]

Paysan Breton was my gateway. Those big salt crystals are SO good.

[u/avco11a → u/Big-Wave-2977]

I SECOND THIS!

[u/Burton14e7]

I've never had the Isigny Spring Butter so I'd get that. I use their beurre baratte over the AOP as my daily bread butter because I like how salty it is.

[u/fregulayum]

France. The answer is always France.

[u/tessathemurdervilles]

Les pres sales is SLEPT ON. It is my favorite butter. But also paysan breton. I am a fiend for northern France butter.

[u/Fuzzy_Welcome8348]

Plugra or Kerry gold

[u/Weekly_Fly_486 → u/Fuzzy_Welcome8348]

i had to scroll way too far to find any comment about KerryGold. But also grassland is top tier

[u/DovasTech → u/Fuzzy_Welcome8348]

Plugra salted is top tier

[u/Strict-Relief-8434]

I’d say you don’t have enough butter in your fridge /s

[u/beattysgirl]

I have to ask, is this at a place called Euro Delicatessen in Galloway Ohio? 😂 it looks so much like the little store I love

[u/Electronic_Chef1109]

The Breton one. But France always has the best butter

[u/MacaroonSad8860]

I love Payson Breton personally

[u/Onto_new_ideas]

On another note, the bulgarian sheep's milk cheese is one of my favorites! Similar to feta in a brine, but better.

[u/ell-ta]

Any of those french butter

[u/Kammy44]

I have never had French butter. Which one should I try?

[u/Which-Break5673]

I like Plugra best.

[u/Subduction → u/Which-Break5673]

It is 100 percent fine to like what you like, but Plugra, unfortunately, adds artificial butter flavor.

[u/_InvincibleSummer_ → u/Subduction]

I can’t find any evidence to support this, can you provide some?

[u/TikaPants → u/Which-Break5673]

I have a nice baker/butcher down the street. They have Plugra everywhere in their kitchen.

[u/LghtlyHmmrd]

For a second I thought this was your fridge and I was so excited for you

[u/Conscious-Leg8404]

Can I send you my address?

[u/Bananno1976]

A laxative or two?

[u/Practical_Yam9480]

That Vologda butter (the one labeled Волого́дское ма́сло under the President) is elite. People sleep on it big time, they tend to only know the same old brands sold in ordinary supermarkets.

Fun fact, it was Russia’s first ever DOP product.

[u/Puzzleheaded-War4385]

Plugra

[u/Busy-Ad7159]

People will have their favorite who haven’t tried any others. To me any French or Irish grass fed is better than any regular butter. Try different ones and decide for yourself.

[u/Karineh]

I grew up on the Russian one with the cow and red barn. So good

[u/No-Abies29]

It seems that the blue packaged Le Gall has sold a few, maybe that’s a hint.

[u/conradelvis]

Try something fermented

[u/ObviousExtent9041]

Plugra and kerrigold

[u/Expensive_Hyena351]

Left top shelf any of those 2

[u/nonchalantly_weird]

Before tariffs, the Beurre d'Isigny at my store was $6.49. I thought that was nuts, but I happily paid it because it is so good. I can't bring myself to pay the price now.

[u/Expensive-Ad-3702]

The Belgian one ot the one from Brittany. Only because there are no Cornish ones available.

[u/Jitterbuggy17]

The Pres Sales one in the top left corner hands down!! It’s incredible!

[u/xpietoe42]

I don’t see it, but it may be there, if you try Le Beurre Bordier, it is the finest of hand made butters!

[u/TraditionalCap6882]

What are you using it for?

Eating on bread? Pres sales or Vermont

Baking? Plugra, Vermont, or cremerie

[u/EarlyVirginia-1680]

The Valbreso feta is the best I’ve ever had.

[u/ReasonableStorage493]

💯 Paysan Breton Sel De Mer.

[u/BlueAngel365]

Add more butter.🧈

[u/Jackie-Wan-Kenobi]

I would personally grab the French butter if it is actually imported from France. I don’t know anything about that particular brand.

[u/MrSocks2024]

I love the Pres Sales Camarghe. The Paysan Breton are probably good as well.

[u/WaltonGogginsTeeth]

Plurga slaps

[u/laylapearson]

I use Plugra for baking. The price is good and its has high butter fat. Ina Garten turned me onto this product. Some of the other French butters would be divine on a fresh baguette or croissant but if you’re using it for baking, I wouldn’t spend that kind of money.

[u/snozzle26]

Kerrygold Irish butter. End of thread.

[u/Expensive-Ad-3702 → u/snozzle26]

It is OK, but not a patch on Breton or Belgian butters IMO. I buy local Cornish butter.

[u/snozzle26 → u/Expensive-Ad-3702]

Whats great about those butters?

[u/Expensive-Ad-3702 → u/snozzle26]

Taste. Plus I prefer to support smaller producers not huge corporations.

[u/AlfalfaUnable1629]

I hear the plugra is 👌🏼

[u/primeline31]

Pack that up in plastic bags to preserve the freshness to stop it from absorbing odors. Freez a good deal of it using freezer bags too.

[u/locoles]

Les pres sales and it’s not even close
