Things Without Which You Oughtn't Live, Pt. 2

People, you need this:



I'm sure a more exhaustive search would yield even more wildly artisanal, obsessively-churned butter. Y'know, something made of raw milk from Andalusian Cebu cows, who pasture on organic lavender fields in Humboldt County, churned at the full moon by sensitivity-trained Breton grandmothers, wrapped in sustainably mined aluminum foil and packaged in cartons made from 100% post-consumer recycled hemp fiber with 100% organic soy ink printing.

But it still wouldn't taste any better than this stuff.

Mind you, this is not a butter for sauteeing or baking sweet goods (I like the "European Style" Land O' Lakes for that). But for savory baking or making sauces or smearing thickly on breadstuffs, it simply CANNOT be beat. You can even find it in the better sort of supermarket and the price is not out of line with regular butter.

You're welcome.

Oooh...salts. I have just gotten a consignment of Italian sea salt from the Gulf of Taranto with which I am dying to caress a bit of lamb.

This one is sort of somewhere between red and orange. Of course, there is always the Celtic stuff and the fleur-de-sel.
