The Joy of Butter!

[Bathsheba]

Lurpak is quite nice... very pale which is common for European butters. The colour shouldn't affect the flavour.

Astrid, my DP and I were at the Queen Vic markets yesterday and I saw Warrnambool butter and cheeses in one of the little deli shops. I'm going to go back when we need butter/cheese and start buying that! My sis lived in Warrnambool for a few years and said the cheese is great

Yes, European butters are often quite pale. Especially continental ones. As far as I know, that comes from what they eat. In general, they say that milk from grassfed dairy cows makes a more golden coloured butter. So I guess, with our long winters, European cows eat a higher percentage of grain and hey rather than fresh grass... but that's just my theory.

By the way, I found Girgar at my local Coles. will try it tomorrow.
