Can we talk gourmet butter (not kerrgold)?

Looking for some new butter to enjoy. I just bought some plugra recently but was curious if the FB snobs had a go-to butter other than kerrgold.
I see rolled butter can be up to $10/lb so i haven't been interested in buying it but is there something out there that really stands out flavorwise? Am i missing out not buying those big square slabs of rolled butter?
Looking to expand my horizons (and waist).

I like that. I get the unsalted version. I also like the 2 lb rolled packages of "Amish" butter.

The Vermont Creamery culture butter, sold wrapped and sitting in a little basket, is tasty. I prefer the French varieties with the fleur de sel crystals for an “eating” butter (as opposed to the blocks I buy from Costco for baking).

And honestly, F&D will be the most interesting. It's the most passive aggressive board on this site by 1000 miles. Ask hungryone
I just buy whichever of the "nice" (by Publix standards) butters are on sale. Plugra is good but I don't seek it out. President is good too.

It’s not gourmet but I very much enjoy land o lakes olive oil and sea salt flavor.

Try Kerrygold.
Vermont creamery is OK from what I recall.

Vermont creamery cultured butter has more tang to it which is really good on warm bread. I feel like butter is one of those items where the quality is really in what the cows eat and to get the good stuff, you have to find a creamery that only uses milk from their own, preferably grass fed, cows. Butter from grass fed cows tends to be darker yellow and has a much stronger, more complex flavor, especially in the spring time when the cows’ diets switch to all green grass.

Never tried that, but my wife and I have been wearing out the President salted butter slathered on Publix water rolls for a while now. Also on the Publix Wheat Mountain Bread. Kerrygold is good, but we have a container that's been sitting pretty much untouched for weeks now. Probably never buy another container of LOL whipped butter, and that was our go-to favorite for years.
That cultured tang just sets off a good piece of hot bread.

99% or what I use is Land O Lakes, olive oil and sea salt, I've used the Kerrygold, but how I use it I cant tell a difference.
I got some "French Style" butter in a blue apron box, and put it on some sourdough, and it was nothing special.

I only eat hand crafted, single batch, organic, free range, grass fed, artisanal butter made by a small farm collective farm that supports disadvantaged youths.

I don't know why you're getting downvoted. My Rouses was out of Kerry Gold during the pandemic and I ended up with one of those 2lb rolls of Minerva butter. Man, it's really good on hot fresh bread. I prefer it over Kerry TBH in some instances.

Plugra on a good fresh baguette should be served in every restaurant.

when a thread simply asking about opinions on your favorite butter gets more downvotes than upvotes....

You talk about downvotes, you get downvotes. You act like you don’t know how this site works

But he doesn't need to talk about them to get them. It's his lack of self awareness and inability to learn from his past. I think he may be mentally ill.

Actually butter made by the restaurant from the cream of a locally sourced dairy farmer served on a baguette also made in the restaurant (if by any chance with flour from a local mill) - is what should be served
But that’s hilarious - just as your suggestion bc plugra is not going to be cost effective for most restaurants

daaaamn dude. i think he was making the point that plugra on fresh hot baguette bread is delicious. i don't think he was actually advocating for every restaurant in the world to start serving butter & baguettes.
