Guest guest Posted March 9, 2003 Report Share Posted March 9, 2003 >>>How important is it that the butter is a deep yellow color? I have purchased some butter from alpine grass fed cows but it is kind of pale. It does have a nice and distinct flavor. Would this mean that it is not high in nutrients? I did buy another brand that is from Normandy and it is the most yellow out of all the ones I have purchased. ---->toss the alpine, keep the normandy (unless it's artificially colored).

Maybe it's great in other seasons, but all else being equal (i.e. no artificial colorings being used) the yellower butter is always the more nutritious butter. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bella, The alpine this time of year has to be at it's lowest quality because its the end of winter. They may have the butterwort in their hay that gives their butter it's excellent quality in the spring when the cows are eating the first green pasture and the CLA is highest. I'd pick Normandy over that as it must be near spring in France now. The pasture, hay, soil quality, consistency of butter quality and likely the breed, Normande (although unsure of breed in Switzerland) there is more reliable.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2003 Report Share Posted March 9, 2003 Wanita, I didn't think about this but it makes perfect sense. Sometimes it is a bit more yellow and it varies with brand as well I noticed. I guess I am lucky since vendors are always giving my husband things to try and he always brings me home things too. This is how I get to compare things many times. By the way have you tried the butter oil yet? I am thinking of ordering it for the kids.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Unless butter color is added artificially, it changes according to what the cows are eating. It's typically deep yellow from eating grass of new spring growth.
