Can I guess which brand of grass-fed butter I’m eating in this blind butter taste test?
Back when I did my initial grass-fed butter review, I decided that it would be fun to test my skills and see if I could tell the different brands apart. While blindfolded! So I braved my fear of sitting in front of a camera with Reuben around (does anyone else get really embarrassed if their spouse is around while they’re recording?!), and made this video for y’all!
I got all the butters set up and Reuben spoon-fed me each one while writing down my answers in a notebook.
Blind Butter Taste Test
You can see how I did by watching the video above! I was kind of surprised with my results…
That’s right: I got 5 out of 5, 100% correct! That just goes to show that each of those grass-fed butters have a distinct flavor. The Organic Valley is quite cultured, almost cheesy. The Graziers has a buttercream frosting flavor. The Kerrygold is just straight-up good butter. The Anchor has a distinct, almost grassy flavor, etc. etc.
I highly encourage you to get your hands on as many grass-fed butters as possible and give them a taste test. Personally, I like to try it on bread or a cracker as well as all by itself. This gives me a good idea of how much I like it.

That's so cool. :) Also I haven't been to your blog in 2 yrs - you've changed it sm! I still love it though. ;) I never knew you could taste the difference. Now I want to go get some grass-fed stuff to try. :P
