There's quite a bit of controversy over what makes Amish butter authentic. Some people think that real Amish butter can only come from cows that are pasture-raised and grass-fed, and that the butter must be handmade and processed right there on the farm. This butter is known for being gloriously yellow and flavorful. Some brands are taking this into consideration and selling Amish Country Roll Butter. This usually just means that the butter was rolled into its packaging by hand, but is not likely all that different from the other butters on the shelves. Bottom line, if you find a butter that pleases your taste buds and works well for your recipes, stick with it. But if you'd like to use what we test and bake with, use a regular grade AA unsalted butter. I hope that helps! Kye@KAF
