I don't know what the fat content is on it, but its certainly WAY up there.

Put the guests to work. Also, I like cold butter on warm bread/biscuits. That said, I am curious about the Andante butter, I am a butter fiend. Also, is anyone making seaweed butter here in the states? Thanks. We actually chose to serve Diane’s butter chilled with salt on the side. Put the guests to work.

The Andante butter was much saltier and "softer" (my butter vocabulary is not too advanced)...

To ship it costs something like $60 per pound with all the dry ice, or you can have it at places like The French Laundry, who at one time bought almost everything she makes. They still may, I'm not sure. One of the best butters I’ve ever had is made by Animal Farm in Vermont.
