Have to agree with you casey. Glad I tried it but sorry I spent the money on it.
Is the shelf-life of butter in a refrigerator at 1 0 c 21 months?

One time I was in Denmark and my sister was there too. She lives in SoCal. She wanted me to taste some French butter that she had gotten on her flight with Air France and put in her purse. I tasted it and said something like, "Yeah, it's butter. It's good." She was upset with me. She really wanted me to be impressed. I shrugged and asked if she had forgotten what Danish butter tastes like. Well, a couple of days later, after we had been grocery shopping and had been eating Danish butter, she apologized. Yeah, that French butter was good, but no better than Danish butter and barely better than regular Quebec butter. It was more like some cultured Lactantia butter that we get here in Canada. Pricier than regular butter, but not import pricier.

From the first few words, "One time I was in Denmark," I knew you were going to brag about Danish butter.

Put it on good bread! IMO it’s best used uncooked. It has such a wonderful flavor. And color.have no idea why... but the other day I purchased a 1/2 lb of Kerry Gold. Paid almost the same price as a whole lb of store brand.
So now, in what way does anyone suggest I use it to enjoy the difference from the peasant butter I normally buy.

I can get Kerrygold at the big box store. The price there is much better than the supermarket.

For those special occasion where butter plays a key role, mostly when used as a spread for any reason I use a butter from "Wild Meadows Farm" otherwise I just use Lactantia for home and work, unsalted for work, both for home.

high fat, unsalted European style butter - providing it is properly fresh -
does have a different taste. no, it's not "OMG what am I eating" - but it does have the edge.
traveled / worked-lived in Germany for a number of years. guests - either business type things or visiting friends/family - almost with no exception remarked about 'Dang this is good' when confronted with fresh broetchen and butter. so , , , it's not an urban rumor.
I keep Kerrygold in a (room temp) butter bell - I use in on biscuits/toast/rolls/croissants.
for more ordinary butter use, supermarket brand unsalted.

oops, not Kerrygold but just as expensive.
Germany, I distinctly remember my younger brother and I complain about the butter. We got used to it but on coming back, well, now I use mostly salted although I keep unsalted handy.

I was at Zabars in NYC maybe 15 years ago and bought a bunch of European butter for a taste test. French, Danish and Irish mostly. Maybe 10 of them.
Lurpak from Denmark was the overwhelming top choice.
I used to be able to buy it here it Boston but no more...
Also, we went to Denmark 2 years ago and it was one of the best trips ever! Highly recommended!! So much fun!!

Texas cows are beef breeds (mostly Angus), and they graze on prairie grasses, so I can't imagine Texas butter being very good.

Well, if the cows will let you milk them and there is enough milk, the butter would probably be pretty good. I doubt it would be fabulous, but good. Just guessing though.

Not if it is YOUR cow.and I bet it would be VERY expensive!
I was referring the expense to the poke in the gut by a Longhorn. LOL

You're a farm girl. You know how to avoid such things when milking YOUR cow.
But you have to ensure you are milking a cow.

Longhorns are not as common as one might expect in Texas, although the ranch a few blocks from my house has a herd of them. They get moved from field to field, so I only see them every once-in-a-while.
