Thank you for this article. You did not address proper storage of your butter, though. Butter tends to pick up a lot of off flavors if stored in the refrigerator for too long. It is best to store your butter in the freezer until needed. I've also found that Land-O-Lakes butter wrappers tend to seal out those off flavors better than most brands wrapped in parchment, including Cabot. But if your butter is fresh and will be used quickly (and your fridge is clean), it probably doesn't matter too much. Just something to keep in mind.
