Is there any difference in flavour between this butter and any other butter such as LandoLakes?

 
All I saw was butter rat. Had to click on it! Love you, Oli.

My son in New Jersey goes to an Amish market and says that whenever he buys anything baked and still warm, he has the vendor slather Amish butter on it. He LOVES it, and says it tastes so fresh and "really really BUTTERY"!

Here is the link to Yelp for the Amish market my son goes to. It is just up the road...

...from Princeton. I've had their donuts and pretzels and stuffed bread/pretzel rolls. The donuts were the best I had EVER eaten, and the pretzels were delicious as well. The stuffed ones were also very good.

Some of the comments mention slabs of homemade butter being available. People love it!

There was an Amish butcher I purchased from while working in East Windsor, NJ--up the hill from

Princeton. Their chicken wings were big and meaty with no excess water when roasted. Spoiled me rotten. I've never found chicken that good since then.

 
We have it here at one grocery store, Oli. Amish butter roll

I bought one and used it. It tasted very "grassy" and while it was very creamy and a good price I decided not to buy more. I am not a fan of "grassy" flavor. I'm sure there are many "Amish butters" out there- I am putting in a link to the one I bought. It is the one with the green label.

Warning: Not a fan of "Amish Products"

Having grown up down the road from a large Amish colony in southern Ohio I've seen up close their methods, tasted their foods for sale, etc. For me, it is just one big marketing hoax. Real Amish food is bland and flavorless. They don't go in for fancy, deluxe, or frills.

Their "homemade" breads and baked goods were so plain (bread: white flour, water, salt, yeast) that everything I was baking at the time as a teenager was far superlative than the stuff people were lining up to buy at their farm because it was Amish/homemade/wholesome/old timey/etc.

Now the delis are carrying "Amish" potato salad and coleslaw that comes in big cardboard cartons. It is albino white and is the foulest spew I've ever put in my mouth. I literally spit out the first, and last, bite of it I ever tried because it was so horrible.

Think about it: Amish practitioners do not use electricity. How can they manufacture their plain bland food in large processing centers for national distribution without electricity?

Click the link to read what "Amish Roll Butter" really is and toss the word "Amish" into the waste bucket of marketing terms to trick you into buying something that isn't what you're being lead to think it is.

The Amish, more details...

The name Amish has been co-opted by marketers to apply to mass produced products that are disguised with quaint packaging to look "homemade." This is a response to a growing movement of back to nature, natural products, old-fashioned values. Most are taken in with the charade.

The amish use neither electricity nor gasoline engines. How can they produce and market products on a national scale? They don't.

Caveat emptor.

 
Totally agree with you , Richard. I see it in local markets and I KNOW that's not the same butter

I buy from neighbors!
