I have noticed home baking has not been as tasty as in my Mom's days, & I wonder if the butter, like Irish butter, makes all the difference. Too bad it is so pricy. Wendy

It is butter after all. It's just that it's grass-fed instead of coming from factory farmed cows! It is more expensive than regular butter that comes in a 4-cube 1 pound box, but in my opinion, the incredible taste and healthfulness are most definitely worth it! I made my Christmas Marshmallow Cream Fudge with it, and oh my goodness! Yum!
