We've all seen the threads for the shelf stable butter that can be stored long term, and while
that's good, to me butter in general has just been getting more bland and flavorless every
year.  Is it just me and is this stuff any better?

Land-O-Lakes used to be the best regular butter, now it's just salted grease.  Post SHTF,
making butter is easy if you have cream, but how would you make sure it actually tastes like
butter should?  Is it the cream, or the technique, or temperature or all of the above?

Am I the only one that has noticed the quality of butter declining or is it just that my taste
buds are getting old and tired?

It's all in your head. Just kidding. If you make your own it might not taste the same as store bought anyway.  Sorry not a lot of help.  When I saw the title of the thread I was thinking about the Dr. Seuss book.  I'll talk to my parents this weekend and find out.

You have a valid point. I think that over the years the quality of the milk fat has changed for the worse because of new feed or something. It would be nice if we had a milk farmer chime in on this. Sure seemed like years ago the butter was a lot richer.
