Can anyone actually taste the difference between salted and unsalted butter?

Or is it just a gimmick for health nuts trying to watch their sodium intake?

You have to use unsalted butter when you're baking and the recipe specifically calls for salt. If you use salted butter, whatever you're cooking will become too salty.

Butter used in baking is why you have the two butters, other than the fact of salt and blood pressure. My wife bakes and several of her recipes call for unsalted. Why? I haven't a clue. I just eat what she bakes without question.

For butter made in the US generally speaking it is not a huge difference between salted and unsalted. For true salted butter, try some international brands.....like Amul from India.

salted butter has a longer shelf life because salt is a preservative. therefore, its common in households that use it for cooking, flavor, etc things.
unsalted butter has a shorter shelf life and is used for baking.
1 stick of salted butter is about 600mg of salt. Unless you're eating a stick of butter for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, there really is no health "benefit" by using unsalted butter in comparison to salted butter. unless you have diabetes which will cause chronic hypertension

Grass fed butter is the shite

All day, every day. Get your tastebuds checked.

Baking is all about chemical reactions, it's damn near a science experiment to bake anything. All measurements have to be precise and followed to the "t", thus unsalted butter so that the salt measurements can be followed properly to ensure that whatever you're baking comes out right.
I'm certain Alton Brown has probably covered something like this.

Yes. One is salty, the other one isn't.

One's for cooking, one's for baking. You might not want to put the salted butter in your chocolate cookie recipe

Producers can also get away with using inferior grades of milk to make salted butter as the salt will mask the taste. Yes, I can very much taste the difference between the two.

One tastes slightly salty, the other slightly under salty.

I use unsalted butter for cooking eggs, deer meat, steak, etc in a skillet since the salt in salted butter is what burns. You better believe I used salted butter on grilled cheese, biscuits, toast, etc. I also can tell a difference between the regular land o lakes shite and the kerrygold irish butter. I put kerrygold unsalted butter in my coffee every morning.
