Is South Dakota Butter Harder Than It Used To Be?
I ve always preferred real butter over margarine. In our house, we keep a butter dish with one stick of real butter in the cupboard. Over the last couple of years, I ve noticed that the butter in the dish doesn t get as soft at room temperature as it used to get.
I m not alone in the observation that our butter is getting harder as of late. In Canada, they have referred to this unfolding situation as Buttergate . There they are saying that as of late butter is even getting more difficult to melt.
