Unfortunately, all we're able to get close enough to us is light cream. (We asked the dairy farmer, and heavy cream was a no-go --- at least for now.) Hopefully, we'll be able to try it out one day.

I\'d make butter from it if I could find it in the marketplace anywhere. Sometimes, I just have to settle for what is available. I note it has no additives and is merely pasteurized, not ultra-pasteurized. It\'s the protein in the liquid milk that is so damaged by pasteurization, and you can see him pouring the buttermilk away from the butter fat many times. Furthermore, since the fat has not been brutally fractionated by the ultra pasteurized process, the butter will be much more digestible and taste a whole lot better. The more yellow your butter, of course, the higher the Vitamin A content, as a general rule. Cows grazing on good green grass give very yellow butter. Diane,
