Wendy Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 Hello - I am new to the area. Can someone tell me if Kerry Gold butter or any grass feed butter is available in the area? If not, can it be found in Guadalajara? I saw the 2018 thread about this topic, just wondering where it stands today. Appreciate any information~ Wendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WideSky Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 It may be an animal product but I think this is in the wrong section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandol Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 You might try the yellow truck that is in Chapala on Thursdays. Not sure of the corner: Degollado and Juarez(?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnMama Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 There are also several vendors at the Tuesday Market who sell grass-fed butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miomama Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 Was just at Costco (López mateo) yesterday and they have it now. 2 lb package for around 280 pesos, I don't recall. It was with the fancy cheeses near the fresh meats department. Unsalted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Liana Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 This is great news and I'm thrilled to see it, but it truly belongs in the kitchen section. Moderators? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 Oh goody! A butter thread. I miss the New Zealand Anchor butter but am happy with the Danish (?) butter Lurpak. Is Kerry Gold better tasting than either of those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 I'm finding I like President's just as well, and now CostCo has tubes of the salted President's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like those,you like european style unsalted cultured butter which is like the butter made in Mazamitla and available from that truck, the Cremeria and Joaquin. That's all we buy now because I consider it superior to the commercial brands like Lurpac and you can get any size that you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an ingredient or a method in many Mexican-branded butters, I forget which, that gives it a uniquely awful smell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Greenwood Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 Unsalted butter...Bah humbug ! I suppose you like unsalted Parmesan , maybe a little unsalted prosciutto ,perhaps a little shake of unsalted soy ? Almost all foods need some level of seasoning to bring out their best flavors. That’s why we even include a pinch of salt when making sweet deserts . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Rupert Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 Ian- get over it. We all like what we like. Enough of salted butter versus unsalted butter. WHO CARES? It has been discussed to death (well, not quite) on both boards. Give it a rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Greenwood Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 Sorry rupert ....thought it was a post on butter...? .opinions on taste not allowed if they differ from yours .. ? .. you are somewhat right however , people like what they like ..that’s why spam sells 120 million cans a year....prefer yours without salt...?...Taste is not always subjective it’s often due to exposure or the lack thereof .

I was raised in a European household and have had the pleasure of tasting unadulterated butter all my life. Cultured butter has a butter flavour and if it's salted it has a salt flavour. Having said that, when using this butter for cooking one adds spices including salt in the process. I am light frying then braising[water added] in pure butter.

Ian, it is not your opinion on taste that is objectionable. It is possible to express your preferences for salted butter without being unpleasant and insulting the people who don’t share your opinion. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerGuy Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 I keep a stack of Kirkland butter in the freezer; it's unsalted; it's for cooking. I used salted butter on my popcorn. Alton Brown did an old show on popcorn last week and said to always use unsalted butter. Hmmm. Okay, so I used the Kirkland last night. Unfortunately, it had a "fridge" taste, which I never get from the salted Lurpak or Presidente. I keep any extra butter in the freezer, then thaw it when needed, in the fridge. I have never noticed any odd taste when cooking with the Kirkland, and never an odd taste on popcorn with the other salted brands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
