I usually buy the salted version of this butter since I mostly use it for spreading and for that I like the flavor of the salted version better. That being said, there are a number of recipies that call for unsalted butter and then the unsalted Lurpak is as good as you will find.

Note that Lurpak is cultured butter (not sweet cream butter like most American brands) and as such it has a deep and rich flavor that no simple sweet cream butter can match. Cultured butter of this kind is produced by fermenting the cream with lactic bacteria that convert sugars to lactic acid before churning the cream into butter.

In my opinion, the Lurpak Danish butter holds its own in comparison with far more expensive butters. I actually prefer Lurpak over brands like Echire, etc.

I am sure this is delicious as it had been recommended to me.
However, it was completely melted when I received it, the
package did not state PERISHABLE and the postage was expensive.
I would not buy from this particular site again.

Since the absurd boycott of Danish products in the Middle East over cartoons, it is good for the west and freedom to support Denmark. Their Lurpak butter and Arla cheeses are delicious and available on-line and at many grocery stores in the US. Buy, you'll like!
