5 Butter Brands I Would Not Put on My Own Table — And 3 That Are Actually Butter

Not all butter is equal, and the difference comes down to what's in it and how it's made — not just the label. Butterfat percentage is the big one: European-style butters run higher in fat and richer in flavor than standard butter, while some cheaper products cut corners or add extras. Real butter should be a short, simple ingredient list — cream, and maybe salt. Once you know what to look for, the good stuff is easy to spot. This video covers what to look for and what to skip in butter, from a quality standpoint — butterfat content, a clean ingredient list, cultured versus sweet cream, and grass-fed options — and the signs of a butter worth putting on your table. Rather than a brand blacklist, it focuses on how to judge any butter so you can choose well wherever you shop.
