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?

While eating a stick of fat.

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.

Also, salt is a preservative, so the shelf life of salted butter is longer.

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.

European butter is incredible. It has a higher percentage of milk fat. For toast or bagels, Kerrygold is the shite.

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

My wife keeps our butter in the freezer until she needs it.

I think they put cocaine in Kerrygold. It's so damn good.

American butter is just bland. It's too watered down.

How does butter eat grass?

I mean, for fricks sake, the beef isn't eating the grass either.

Never heard of grass-fed butter before, but hell, I don't see the big hubbub over grass-fed beef either. I suppose the cow eating grass gives the beef and/or milk a different flavor than ond being fed corn, grain, or other supplements. Might have something to do with the fact that the sumbitches are actually made to eat grass too.
