What’s the algorithm for choosing a butter from the like 20 options at that grocery store?
Conversation
* Only unsalted (I control salt)
* Only ingredient is cream (no "natural flavoring")
* If I'm baking: ~82% butterfat
- If sweet: sweet cream or mild cultures (Kerrygold, Challenge)
- If savory: cultured (Président)
* If cooking/raw: 84+% butterfat, cultured (Straus, Vermont)

Omg I am opposite, salted butter only and sometimes I add more salt.

Don't get me wrong: I'm a heavy salt fiend! :)
But I'm always tasting and salting as I cook; I don't want to throw off my seasoning by e.g. mounting a sauce with a few T of butter at the very end.
When baking, I'm adding salt by weight, don't want to account for butter's salt.
