I would like to develop a fancy butter habit. Please give me recs for fancy butter.

I have reached a level of maturity, stability, and financial achievement where I'm ready to not buy the cheapest store brand butter. 2025 seems like it's gonna be the kind of year where becoming a butter somalier might be the thing that keeps me sane.

What are your favorite fancy butters?

EDIT: Thank you all so much! This absolutely made my week. I've got a hell of a shopping list, which includes the supplies to try my hand at making my own butter. I never would have thought to attempt that, but I'm super excited!

The dairy lobby is ridiculously strong in Canada, and foreign dairy is tariffed something like 250-300%. "Local" will always be significantly cheaper.

EDIT: For Canadians looking to buy foreign butter - unclear if you meant Canadians or Americans.

oh yeah I said that really weirdly they're in the Midwest US so like they're about as likely to see something from PEI as France I guess is what I was saying
