Vermont Butter and Cheese Co.

Kerry Gold

I can't remember the brand names, but very high end markets (e.g. Citarella in

NYC) have many brands of European butters that look excellent (deep yellow

color).

Thanks ,

Vermont Butter and Cheese is a good quality item but is not grassfed.

If anyone has ANY good euro brand they have access to from even a

specialty market like mentioned then please list that too.

Dr. Mike,

In case you missed my post in the other thread, Organic Valley's

butter is grass-fed. They are vague with how much grain they feed

(varies from farm to farm I'm sure, as they are an umbrella for local

farms), but they do emphasize the importance of pasture feeding.

Thanks

I have always had somewhat of a love hate thing with OV, the love

part is obvious in that their intentions are great however their

Ultra pasturization stills shows the " don't get it " and their

apparent purposeful lack of clarity on how much pasture feeding is

actually done has always bothered me. But there is no question

they'd have to be near the top of such a list here in the US. As

far as I know probably second to KerryGold.

LE BEURRE ET LA CREME D'ISIGNY - Isigny Ste Mère

I was in a local gourmet food shop this morning and noticed the butter

mentioned above. Everything I have read about this butter is that it is

made from raw cream (crème crue) of exceptional quality (starting with the

pastures, etc.) I am going to purchase some to try. I also have sent a

note to the company requesting more information. When they return my

enquiry I'll share the results with the group.

- I sent in a message to the group regarding this butter. Here is

a photo-scan of the foil wrapper. By the way, it is quite delicious and

seems to be unsalted. Flavor is strong and color is golden yellow (without

colorings).

It is in fact illegal to ship raw milk solids across state lines.

Whetzel probably knows more about this than I.

This brand of butter was discussed on a raw food list (Live-Food?) a

while back.

I seem to remember that some of the list members looked into the matter

and determined that it was pasturized, not raw.

It could be that all butter imported into the US is pasturized. (Was

the gourmet food shop in the US?)

Isigny Ste Mere do a butter which is NOT pasteurised [beurre cru] but it is only

available from less than a handful of outlets in London.

Re: Commercially available grassfed butter

Creme d'isigny is available in supermarkets here in

the UK, I believe it is pasturised.

Hello Mark,

Creme D'ISIGNY sold in the US is pasteurized. I remember reading

that they do sell raw butter, but only in France. I have bought this

brand 2-3 times and every time the colour was pale. In my area we

have also the President brand butter. Also made in France. It's

colour is more yellow than the D'ISIGNY, but of course is far from

the deep yellow seen in grassfed butter.
