"Land O'Lakes is such a common grocery store butter brand that it's found basically anywhere you can buy food, even in budget shops like Dollar General. It may not have the full, rich flavors of some of the more expensive butters, but Land O'Lakes is more than good enough to cover 90% of your butter needs without shelling out too much."
"Even when it comes to the nice stuff, Pépin is pretty populist. The number of fancy butter brands at grocery stores has really expanded recently, as Americans develop a taste for more full-flavored European-style butter, which has a higher percentage of butterfat. But Pépin prefers a European butter that has also been around for a long time: Kerrygold. The Irish butter is a perennial favorite of taste testers, with a tangy, cultured flavor and complexity from being grass-fed."
Jacques Pépin favors simple daily foods and practical ingredient choices. He relies on Land O'Lakes as an everyday butter because of its wide availability, affordability, and adequacy for most cooking and spreading needs. He still enjoys occasional indulgences like caviar and Champagne but typically eats modest breakfasts such as English muffins with jam and cornflakes. For a fuller, European-style butter experience he prefers Kerrygold, an Irish, grass-fed butter known for its tangy, cultured flavor and complexity. The grocery market has expanded with higher-butterfat European-style options, but Pépin balances accessibility and richer flavor in his selections.
