Cabot Butter Proves Too Salty in Taste Test, Kerrygold Reigns Supreme

A taste-test of salted grocery-store butters ranks Cabot Creamery’s salted butter near the bottom due to overly salty flavor, with Walmart’s Great Value only slightly better; Kerrygold is the top pick and Plugra is a strong alternative. The piece suggests using Cabot in compound butters or baked goods with reduced salt, or mixing it with unsalted butter to balance flavor, and notes price variance (about $4.93 for 16 oz at Walmart in PA).
