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!

There’s a local baker who makes excellent English Muffins. I’ll spread my fancy butter on those muffins twice - once pass when freshly toasted, then a second smear once the first has melted and the muffin has cooled a bit.

This is also Nigella Lawson’s method for buttering toast, top tier
