I am a fan of the Trader Joe brand, imported French cultured butter. Gourmet Magazine calls it the best butter you can buy in America. You can make better tasting burger at home. I am back to using my big KitchenAid mixer to make my own cultured butter. You don’t really save money, but the process is easy, and fairly quick. Main pitfall is the right cream is a bit hard to find. You can’t use that ultra Pasteurized stuff.

I am hooked on Kerry Gold butter. Been trying quite a few different butters as of late and none have matched KG IMO.
Will have to try making some. I recall churning butter once as a kid. Maybe in Cub Scouts? Sounds fun anyway.

Made butter as a Cub Scout in the 50's too, used a peanut butter jar, dowel and wooden spool. Turned out pretty good as I recall.

The Land o Lakes European butter is really good, but expensive unless you catch it on sale.
I usually just grab Challenge or the Kroger store brand unless there is a sale on something better.

I remember making butter in a paddle churn at my great uncles ranch as a kid before he moved away to Arizona. He had his own milk cows. And no real butter milk ain't that chit we buy in the store nowadays.

We used to get fresh milk, from the dairy farm across the creek from my Grand Parents country house.
Oh my, can still remember it, to this day.
In grade 10, our high school sent every class to their working farm property for 8 weeks.
Basically, we did everything, someone living on the land would do + your own laundry & cooking for your dormitory (our class was 12 guys & 22 girls).
Long drop loos, heat water via fires & coppers - Life changing event, for lots of city kids.
