The Italians may not be known for their butter due to Louis XIV of France refusal to use oil and make butter the national fat of choice. Italy does have cows, and does make some pretty good butter. Butter de Campagna, a country style butter wrapped in paper, taste very creamy and delicious. It is light in color and is made in the region where they make Parmesan Reggiano. I like to use this butter for pasta, but its light flavor makes it great for composed butters.Where to find this butter:

Congrats on the write up! I love butter!
We don't get much choice here but my favourite is either Lurpak or President. I am well and truly jealous!
I'd buy this one just for the packaging! And since I'm heading back to the city soon, I probably will.
i've been using this as well
it's one of the few UNSALTED better butters that i can find at my local gourmet place. sorry, but to me - plugra is just for baking...
lurpak is one of my faves
a touch gamey
yum
Terrific! I will look for this at my Italian market in Los Angeles.
